HEC Moroccan Government Scholarships 2026–27: Apply Before June 10 Deadline!

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan has officially opened applications for the HEC Moroccan Government Scholarships for the academic year 2026–27. Offered by the Kingdom of Morocco through the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI), this program provides 10 dedicated scholarship slots for Pakistani and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) nationals.

If you want to pursue an undergraduate or postgraduate degree abroad without financial burden, this fully funded option covers public higher education institutions across Morocco. However, the timeline is tight, and applications must be processed entirely online via the official HEC portal.

What is the Deadline?

The final deadline to submit your online application for the HEC Moroccan Government Scholarships on the HEC portal is June 10, 2026.

Because only fully submitted applications will move forward to the nomination pool, do not leave your application sitting in "Saved" status. HEC handles selection strictly on merit, and late submissions are rejected automatically.

Which Programs Are Offered?

The Government of Morocco accepts applications for Bachelor, Master, and PhD levels across specific academic streams. The primary programs available include:

• Medical Studies

• Paramedical Science

• Commercial and Management Science

• Engineering and Technological Science

• Agronomic and Veterinary Science

• Architecture

• Arabic Language and Literature / Islamic Studies

Important Council Accreditation Note: If you are applying for professional degrees like Medicine, Engineering, Nursing, Architecture, or Veterinary Medicine, it is your responsibility to ensure the Moroccan program is recognized by respective Pakistani councils like the PMDC, PEC, or PCATP before moving forward.

Who is Eligible?

Eligibility criteria vary depending on the level of the degree program you are pursuing.

• Nationality Rule: You must be a citizen and permanent resident of Pakistan or AJK. Dual nationality holders are not eligible to apply.

• Test Limitations: Your USAT or HAT test score must fall between June 11, 2025, and June 10, 2026. HEC explicitly notes that the upcoming test scheduled for July 5, 2026, is not applicable for this scholarship cycle.

What is the Medium of Instruction?

French is the primary language of instruction for scientific, technical, and economic disciplines across public Moroccan universities.

If you do not have adequate French proficiency, you will need to complete a preparatory French language course upon arrival in Morocco. Programs in Islamic Studies or Arabic Literature are taught in Arabic, which requires proven fluency. Legal Science is taught in a choice of French or Arabic.

Myth vs Fact

• Myth: You need to mail printed copies of your documents to the HEC head office in Islamabad right after submitting your online application.

• Fact: Do not send hard copies at this stage. Only short-listed, nominated candidates will be contacted by HEC to submit physical documents later.

• Myth: You can use the upcoming July 2026 USAT or HAT scores for this scholarship.

• Fact: HEC will only accept valid test scores obtained on or before June 10, 2026. The July 5 test results cannot be used.

E-E-A-T Reinforcement

As an editorial team tracking HEC international scholarship patterns for Pakistani students over the past several years, we emphasize that language alignment is where many candidates face surprises. Securing one of the 10 competitive slots requires a clear academic path. If your degree program states that instruction is in French, prepare yourself early for the mandatory foundational language classes in Morocco.
