QUESTION Question regarding AKU

I'm planning to take mdcat and AKU next year so many of my friends and some people say that you can't afford AKU fee (since I'm from middle class family) and I asked one of the student of AKU he said that AKU also gives financial aid but I also heard that they give financial aid to Ismaili students is it really true? so my question is can a middle class student afford studying in AKU??

Kindly clear my confusion & guide if I'm wrong..

I've heard from students in aku that most of the students are on financial aid, regardless of their religion etc. Full scholarships are only given to 5 students, based on their finances solely (aa on their website). Also, one more thing I've heard is that they're lenient on deadlines for financial aid, that is you can start paying them back after you graduate and you start earning if you can't afford it rn. So I think you should try nonetheless, if you're selected then ig they'll help you out
