PEEF Scholarship (Punjab Educational Endowment Fund)
About this scholarship
The PEEF Scholarship is the flagship programme of the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund, a body of the Government of the Punjab in Pakistan, which provides a wide range of scholarships to talented students from low-income families. The programme spans school, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels, and is one of the largest needs-based scholarship schemes in the province.
The award covers full tuition, a monthly living stipend (varying by host country for overseas study), round-trip airfare, health insurance, and a book and study materials allowance, for the duration of the enrolled programme. It is designed to remove financial barriers so that academically strong students can continue their education.
Eligibility is for permanent residents of Punjab (with quota seats for AJK, Gilgit-Baltistan, the Merged Districts, ICT, and special categories such as orphans, minorities, and students with disabilities) from low-income households, who have secured at least 60 percent marks in their last annual examination and are enrolled in a government-recognised institution; for overseas study, higher academic and test thresholds apply. You apply online during the announced window via the PEEF website, then submit the printed form with documents through your institution for verification, with students already holding another scholarship usually ineligible. For students from low-income families in Punjab, PEEF is a major route to funded education.
