What is PEEF Scholarship?

The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund (PEEF) is Pakistan’s largest scholarship program, established by the Government of Punjab to provide financial assistance to meritorious but economically disadvantaged students. Since its inception, PEEF has transformed millions of lives by enabling access to quality education for those who cannot afford it.

PEEF operates on a unique “revolving fund” model where recovered loans from other government programs are reinvested into education. This sustainable approach has made it one of the most successful educational initiatives in South Asia.
