Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program 4500 Stipend Increase – August 2025 Update for Eligible Students
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program 4500 stipend increase has brought a wave of relief for thousands of deserving students across Pakistan. In August 2025, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) announced a significant raise in educational stipends to encourage school enrollment and reduce dropout rates.
This initiative is part of the Ehsaas Education Stipend scheme, aimed at providing financial support to students from primary to higher secondary levels. With the stipend now increased to Rs. 4,500, more families are expected to send their children to school and ensure regular attendance.
Importance of the Stipend Increase
The rise in stipends under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program addresses two critical issues:
- Supporting low-income families struggling with rising living costs.
- Encouraging consistent education for children, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
In the August 2025 payment cycle, BISP confirmed that this raise would apply to all eligible students registered in the program after verification.
Eligibility Criteria for the Program
To receive the Rs. 4,500 stipend, students must meet specific eligibility requirements set by BISP:

- Maintain 70% attendance each month.

August 2025 Payment Updates
In August 2025, BISP officials confirmed that the 4500 stipend payments had begun for all previously verified students. Payments are being disbursed via HBL Konnect, Bank Alfalah, and BISP payment centers.
