  • No university commissions

    Universities don't pay us to send students. Your profile and funding needs shape the shortlist.

  • 3 to 4 years, not 3 months

    Start in Matric or O Levels, while there is still time to build a profile worth funding.

  • Clear, published fees

    PKR 100,000 to start. A success fee only at the milestone written into your agreement.

  • A conditional refund

    Meet the programme obligations and receive no qualifying funded offer, and the initial fee is refunded.

Why start early

Most families see the fee before the funding

When a degree abroad costs tens of lakhs a year, it is easy to decide it is out of reach. Fully funded scholarships can cover far more than tuition, but they reward students who prepared for years, not weeks.

Work out your own numbers

What families usually see first tuition and living, per year

Coverage differs by award. Some fund tuition only. We help you read the actual terms and plan for anything they leave out.

Independent mentorship

We work for your family, not for universities

Some agents are paid by universities when a student they refer enrols. We are not. Here is the difference, side by side.

The recruitment model

University-paid agents and consultants

Who pays
The university pays a commission when a referred student enrols. Student charges may also apply.
What shapes the list
Often the institutions the agent represents.
The question to ask
Which universities pay you, and which do you represent?
Paid by universities
Student-paid mentorship

The We Alif programme

Who pays
Your family pays agreed programme fees. We accept no university recruitment commissions.
What shapes the list
Your academic profile, interests, funding needs and each scholarship's published requirements.
What we work on
Career direction, subjects, meaningful projects and careful applications over 3 to 4 years.

Why We Alif began

We had the same questions

Could we apply for a scholarship? What would we need to prepare? Where could we find an answer we could trust?

We Alif began with students and a team who had faced that uncertainty themselves. We built it to make the preparation clearer, while students still have time to work on it.

What families usually ask

Read every answer in the help centre

What does 3 to 4 year co-pilot mentorship mean?

Support through the years before your undergraduate applications. We help you plan your direction, profile and applications, and guide you when you have questions. You complete the schoolwork, activities and applications yourself.

How often do I meet my mentor?

The contact arrangements and review schedule are agreed before you enrol, so you know what support is included and how progress will be reviewed.

Is a scholarship or admission guaranteed?

No. Universities and scholarship bodies make their own decisions. The conditional refund of the initial fee applies if you meet the published obligations and receive no qualifying funded offer.

Does a scholarship cover every expense?

Coverage differs by award. Some fund tuition only; others include accommodation, travel or a stipend. We help you read the actual award and plan for what it doesn't cover.

Can my parents join the conversation?

Yes. Talk to us together, online or at our head office. Tell us your current class and goals so the team can prepare.

Do you receive commissions from universities?

No. The programme is funded by the initial and success fees agreed with your family. Your shortlist follows your profile, funding needs and scholarship requirements.

Let's talk about your scholarship plans

Tell us your class and your goals. A parent or guardian is welcome to join, online or at our head office.
