Join us to support high merit-based scholarships including tuition fees, books, uniforms, laptops, transport, and medical assistance that open doors to financial independence for youth.
Transforming the youth of Pakistan into financially empowered individuals through quality education.
To create equal educational opportunities for high-potential, financially disadvantaged students by providing access to quality schooling, higher education, and vocational training through scholarships and holistic support, empowering them to achieve financial independence and personal growth.
At Orange Tree Foundation, we believe every student deserves the right to quality education and the chance to shape their own future with dignity and independence. Education is not a privilege for a few; it is a right for all.
Our journey began with a simple idea: no student should be denied learning because of financial struggles. What started with just a few scholarships has grown into a movement of opportunity, helping thousands of students step toward financial independence through higher education.
Initially focused on school-level support for families in need, OTF soon expanded into higher education, vocational training and professional institutes, empowering students to pursue advanced studies and sustainable careers. Beyond scholarships, OTF provides mentorship, healthcare and corporate partnerships, creating a holistic ecosystem that supports students from classrooms to careers. Alumni now serve as doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs and community leaders, amplifying OTF’s impact nationwide.
Today, OTF is one of Pakistan’s leading scholarship providers, disbursing over PKR 1.3 billion and awarding more than 6,000 scholarships at top institutions across the country. What began as a modest initiative is now a nationally recognized movement for systemic change through education.
OTF is Pakistan’s largest private-sector scholarship program, dedicated to supporting students through a holistic approach to education.
Our Holistic Support Model includes:
PKR 395,000
PKR 506,000
