Yes. ICAP has partnered with Ihsan Trust (MoU July 2, 2025) to offer interest-free loans covering up to 70% of ICAP dues for financially deserving students. Apply through ICAP with the required documents.

RAET stands for Registered Accounting Education Tutor - these are coaching institutes or tuition providers that are officially registered with ICAP. To access the CAT-SFS need-based scholarship, you must be attending tuitions at a RAET (not just any coaching institute). Verify your coaching centre's RAET registration status directly with ICAP before applying. A list of RAETs is available on the ICAP website. The RAET must endorse your CAT-SFS application - without their recommendation, the need-based scholarship cannot be processed.

The Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification from ICAP is structured in three stages: CAF (Certificate in Accounting and Finance), CFAP (Certificate in Finance, Accounting and Business), and MSA (Multi-subject Assessment). The scholarships (CAT-HA and CAT-SFS) cover fees up to the CAF level. After CAF, you continue self-funded or through the interest-free loan. Completing all three stages qualifies you as an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) - one of the most respected finance credentials in Pakistan with strong career prospects in audit, finance, and banking.
