PEEF Scholarship 2026 – Eligibility, Status & Apply Online Guide

Students searching for the PEEF Scholarship 2026 should first check which PEEF scholarship program they qualify for. The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund runs several scholarship schemes, and they do not all have the same eligibility rules, application method or deadline.

As of 20 September 2026, the official PEEF Special Quota portal is still showing the 2025–26 scholarship intake as Closed. A new application opening date or last date for the 2026–27 Special Quota cycle has not yet been confirmed on the official portal.

Do not submit personal information through an unofficial form simply because a website says PEEF applications for 2026 are open. Check the relevant scholarship category through the official PEEF system first.

PEEF Scholarship 2026 Current Status

PEEF continues to operate as a scholarship organization, but that does not mean every scholarship application window is open throughout the year.

The official Student’s Corner lists different programs including Outreach Scholarships, Special Quota Scholarships, Master’s Level Scholarships, Centre of Excellence scholarships and other designated programs.

Is PEEF Scholarship 2026 Open?

The latest Special Quota Scholarship 2025–26 registration is closed.

PEEF has not yet confirmed a new 2026–27 Special Quota application deadline on the official registration page checked for this guide.

Students should therefore avoid relying on a future last date copied from social media, an old advertisement or another scholarship website.

When a new intake opens, check the session shown on the official application page before entering your CNIC, B-Form, marks or other personal details.

What Is the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund?

The Punjab Educational Endowment Fund, commonly known as PEEF, provides educational financial assistance to talented students who have limited financial resources.

PEEF does not operate only one scholarship.

Its scholarship system includes different programs designed for different groups of students and levels of education. Application and selection methods can therefore differ.

The official PEEF Student’s Corner reports that more than 492,000 scholarships worth over Rs.30 billion have been awarded, with the addition of 2025–26 scholarships expected to increase the total further.

Who Was Eligible for the Latest PEEF Special Quota Scholarship?

For the latest confirmed 2025–26 Special Quota Scholarship, students had to belong to one of the approved Special Quota categories.

These categories were:

1. Orphan students whose father had died
2. Students with disabilities
3. Children of government employees in BPS 1 to 4
4. Children of civilians killed in terrorist attacks
5. Students belonging to religious minorities
6. Children of divorced or khula-obtaining mothers

Applicants also had to meet the academic and financial conditions announced for that intake.

Academic requirement

The 2025–26 Special Quota rules required applicants to have obtained at least 60% marks in the 2025 annual Matric or Intermediate examination conducted by a Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education or FBISE.

Students also had to have taken regular admission during 2025 at the next applicable Intermediate or Graduation level.

These conditions belong to the confirmed 2025–26 intake. Students should check the new rules again when PEEF announces another application cycle.

PEEF Income Limit

For the latest confirmed Special Quota intake, the total monthly income of the applicant’s parents generally had to be Rs.60,000 or less.

Two important exemptions were stated.

Children of government employees in BPS 1 to 4 were exempt from the Rs.60,000 income condition where salary was the family’s only income source.

Children of civilians killed in terrorist attacks were also exempt from the monthly income condition.

The income threshold for a future PEEF intake should not be assumed until PEEF publishes the relevant rules.

How to Apply for PEEF Scholarship

The correct application method depends on the scholarship category.

For the latest Special Quota intake, applications were submitted online through the official PEEF Special Quota portal.

When a Special Quota application cycle is active, the process generally follows these steps:

1. Open the official PEEF Special Quota registration page.
2. Check that registration is open for your academic session.
3. Read the eligibility requirements before starting the form.
4. Enter your personal details.
5. Enter your Matric or Intermediate academic record.
6. Provide details of your previous and current institution.
7. Enter family income information.
8. Select the relevant Special Quota category.
9. Upload the required supporting certificate in PDF format.
10. Review the information carefully before submitting.
11. Save the diary number generated after successful submission.

PEEF warns that incorrect information or an incomplete application can result in rejection.

What Information Is Required in the Online Form?

The latest Special Quota application form included fields for information such as:

• student name
• CNIC or B-Form number
• gender
• father’s name
• father’s CNIC
• home address
• mobile number
• examination passing year
• education level
• board
• roll number
• total and obtained marks
• previous institution
• division, district and tehsil
• current institution
• parents’ occupation
• family income
• Special Quota category
• supporting certificate

Students applying under an eligible category should prepare the relevant evidence before beginning the application.

Do All PEEF Students Apply Online?

No.

This is one of the most important differences students should understand.

The Special Quota scholarship has used a direct online application system, but other PEEF schemes may follow a different selection process.

For example, PEEF’s published scholarship policy describes Outreach Scholarships as a proactive system. PEEF obtains academic records from education boards, identifies eligible high-performing students and contacts shortlisted candidates.

A student should therefore check the scholarship category first rather than assuming that everyone must complete the same online form.

PEEF Scholarship Amount

PEEF does not provide one fixed scholarship amount to every student.

Published PEEF stipend rates differ according to the student’s education level and whether the student is a day scholar or boarder.

PEEF documentation also lists eligible academic charges under applicable scholarship arrangements.

These are published PEEF rates available through its official documentation. A student’s actual award should be verified against the scholarship category, institution and current terms applicable to that scholar.

How to Check PEEF Scholarship Status

Existing students can use the official PEEF student system to look up scholarship information.

The portal provides a field for entering the student’s PEEF Code.

If you do not know your PEEF Code, the system also provides a search route using academic information such as the board roll number and related details.

Use the official PEEF student portal rather than giving your CNIC or academic record to an unofficial scholarship-checking website.

PEEF Scholarship 2026 Last Date

A new 2026–27 Special Quota application deadline is not confirmed on the official PEEF registration page checked on 20 September 2026.

The page currently shows the 2025–26 cycle as closed.

This means any website giving a new PEEF Scholarship 2026 last date should be checked against PEEF before students rely on it.

Different PEEF scholarship streams may also use different schedules. There is no reason to assume one deadline covers every PEEF program.

Important Rules from the Latest Special Quota Cycle

The latest published Special Quota information also states that:

• applicants had to belong to an approved Special Quota category;
• students needed at least 60% marks in the relevant 2025 annual examination;
• applicants needed regular admission at the next eligible level;
• students passing through PBTE or TEVTA were not eligible under that specific Special Quota intake;
• students from other provinces and AJK were not eligible for that particular Punjab Special Quota application;
• marks-improvement and repeat candidates were not eligible;
• applicants had to provide the required category evidence.

These conditions describe the 2025–26 Special Quota Scholarship and should not automatically be copied into a future intake without checking the new announcement.

Where Should Students Check for the Next PEEF Application?

Use the official Punjab Educational Endowment Fund website and Student’s Corner.

When a new application cycle begins, confirm three things before applying:

1. the academic session shown on the application page;
2. the eligibility rules for your scholarship category;
3. the official closing date.

PEEF operates several programs, so a student who is not eligible for the Special Quota scheme may still need to investigate another PEEF scholarship route.

What Students Should Do Now

If you want to apply for the next PEEF scholarship intake, prepare your academic and identity documents but do not treat an unverified deadline as confirmed.

Check your marks, family income information and scholarship category. If you qualify under a Special Quota category, keep the supporting certificate ready.

Most importantly, return to the official PEEF portal when the next application notice is issued. Pakword will update this page when a new 2026–27 date or application schedule can be verified from PEEF.
