Punjab Govt offers an amazing opportunity for students who need scholarships
Advancement and progress, for any society, is impossible without good education but what if the society is too impoverished to afford good education? Does it justify conceding to illiteracy that gives birth to unemployment, ignorance and other social problems? No! It simply doesn’t. Education is an absolute ideal of humankind that never loses its relevance, despite obstacles and hurdles.
The PEEF is established with the objective of providing scholarships/monetary assistance to talented and needy students for pursuing quality education with equal opportunities. PEEF endeavours to bring best educational opportunities to the less privileged and talented youth of Punjab, and bring them at par with the most fortunate ones.
To address the crux of the educational crisis in our society, allocation of these scholarships has been fixed on the basis of Tehsils and District wise results of students. More focus of these scholarships is towards the sixteen (16) less developed districts, especially from southern Punjab.
Special quotas for orphans, children of BPS1-4 govt. employees, disabled, minorities and widows have also been allocated. The PEEF is also providing an opportunity for higher education to the talented and needy students of other provinces AJK, FATA, Gilgit-Baltistan & Islamabad Capital Territory through this program. Since the commencement of its operations in 2009: the PEEF so far has awarded more than 150,000 scholarships worth more
