What is the Fauji Foundation stipend amount? Fauji Foundation sets the yearly amount by group and does not publish one fixed rate online. Third-party sites quote different figures for Group I (between Rs 12,000 and Rs 24,000 a year), so confirm the current rate with your DASB or Fauji Foundation welfare office before you count on it.

Fauji Foundation stipend online apply, login and check by CNIC

The official process is the paper form above. We could not find an official Fauji Foundation portal for online applications, student login or checking stipend status by CNIC. To check your status, contact the DASB or welfare office where you submitted your form, and quote the ex-serviceman's service and CNIC numbers. Be careful with websites that ask you to log in or enter your CNIC to "check" your stipend.

Tips and common mistakes

• Apply early in the window (November–December). Offices are busiest in May.
• Re-apply every year. The stipend does not renew automatically.
• Keep copies of everything you submit and note the date and office.
• Check the 80% rule before applying for Groups I and II.

Common reasons for rejection: forms filled in by hand in small letters or left incomplete, unattested pension book pages, a parent who served less than 10 years, or holding another scholarship.

Scam warning: the Fauji Foundation form is free. Do not pay anyone to "submit online" or to speed up your stipend, and do not enter your or your father's CNIC on unofficial websites. Check suspicious offers with our Scam check.
