Let me tell you about Sana. She’s from a small town near D.G. Khan. Her father is a mason — earns Rs. 18,000 a month. Sana got 88% in FSc and admission in BS Botany at Bahauddin Zakariya University. But fees? Rs. 65,000 per semester. She cried for days.
Then her principal said, “Apply for PEEF.” She did. Tuition? Gone. Hostel? Covered. Pocket money? Rs. 1,800/month. Today, Sana’s in her final year, president of the Botany Society, and her parents? Theyed> They didn’t have to sell their only goat.
That’s PEEF. Not a loan. Not a favor. It’s Punjab’s promise to every bright, low-income student. And 2025-26 applications are live — but the clock is ticking. Let’s get you in before March.
Who Gets This Life-Changing Aid? Your 2025-26 Eligibility Guide
PEEF isn’t for the rich kids in Lahore’s elite schools. It’s for you — the fighter from a government school in Rajanpur who scored 60%+ despite no tuition.
You’re Eligible If:
- You have Punjab domicile (any district)
- You scored 60%+ marks in last exam (Matric/FSc/Grad)
- Family income is under Rs. 60,000/month (yes, per month)
- You’re in intermediate, graduation, or postgrad in Punjab
- You study in a government or PEEF-partner institute
By the way — orphans, minorities, and disabled students get special quotas. Last year, 12% of scholarships went to Christian and Hindu students. Fair? Beautifully fair.
Real story: Ali from Muzaffargarh lost his dad at 14. He worked in a brick kiln to support his mom. Scored 72% in Matric. Applied for PEEF. Now? He’s in 2nd year Electrical Engineering — and his mom doesn’t have to beg for fees.

- 60% Weight: Academic marks
- 30% Weight: Family income (lower = better)
- 10% Weight: Special quotas (orphan, minority, etc.)
Example: Ayesha (82% marks, Rs. 22K income, minority) = 91/100 → Selected!
