Priority disciplines include engineering/mathematics, health and medical sciences, urban/rural planning/development, demography/statistics, physical sciences, vocational programs, education, social work, psychology, entrepreneurship/business, agriculture, and technology. 

PASS scholarships cover tuition, fees, books, and associated costs for a senior research project. Scholarships also pay for transportation to & from school, and room & board, for students who demonstrate financial need. PASS does not pay for medical or other personal expenses.

The scholarship is for both entering and continuing students. Entering students have to provide high school test scores. Continuing students have to report their transcripts, which show an overall GPA of 2.8 (on 4.0 scale) or higher for continuing students (this must be maintained throughout the scholarship program).

PASS is need-and merit-based. This means that candidates who meet all academic requirements but are economically under-privileged to pay for their education will be prioritized. Since girls are generally underserved in South Sudan, they will also be given a priority. Specific requirements for admission include:

• Evidence of admission/application to an undergraduate program at an accredited institution in South Sudan
• A score of 75% or higher on high school national exit examination (for entering students only)
• Certified high school certificate or report slip
• Evidence of family’s socioeconomic instability

Scholarships will be automatically renewed each year for students who earn at least a 2.8 GPA, or at least a 75% in their previous year of college or technical school.
