The Punjab Education Endowment Fund (PEEF) extends a limited set of scholarships specifically to Balochistan students — 30 scholarships for DAE district toppers pursuing graduation-level study, and 30 for students already enrolled in Master’s programs at public sector universities in Balochistan. This scheme belongs to the Balochistan Government Schemes 2026 Education category. Importantly, this is a separate program from Balochistan’s own Balochistan Education Endowment Fund (BEEF), and a student can only receive a scholarship from one of the two, not both. This guide covers PEEF’s specific Balochistan allocation — eligibility, income limits, and how to apply.
PEEF vs. BEEF — Know the Difference First
This is the single most important thing to get right before applying. PEEF is a Punjab government body that offers a small, specific allocation to Balochistan students as an extension of its own program. BEEF is Balochistan’s own province-run endowment fund, established in 2014 by the Balochistan government specifically for its own students, covering a much broader range of levels — school, intermediate, graduation, Master’s, LLB, and technical education. A Balochistan student is eligible to receive a scholarship from either PEEF’s Balochistan allocation or BEEF, but not both simultaneously.
| PEEF (Balochistan allocation) | BEEF | |
| Administered by | Punjab Education Endowment Fund | Government of Balochistan (Finance Department) |
| Levels covered | DAE-to-Graduation (30 seats), Master’s (30 seats) | School through Master’s, LLB, technical education |
| Official portal | peef.org.pk | beef.org.pk |
| Scope | Limited, fixed number of seats reserved for Balochistan | Balochistan’s primary, broader scholarship program |
If your education level or need doesn’t fit PEEF’s narrow Balochistan allocation, check BEEF directly at beef.org.pk, since it’s likely the more relevant program for most Balochistan students.

How to Apply
- Go to peef.org.pk and check the current announcement for the Balochistan allocation specifically.
- Confirm you meet either the DAE-to-Graduation or Master’s track criteria — the two have separate eligibility and separate seat counts.
- Complete the online application with your academic records and income documentation.
- Submit required documents — domicile, income proof, and academic transcripts.
- Meet any additional merit and need-based assessment PEEF applies beyond the base eligibility criteria.
Given the small, fixed number of seats (30 per track), apply as early as possible once the announcement opens, since these are limited allocations rather than an open-ended program.
Results Explained
Because PEEF’s Balochistan allocation is capped at 30 seats per track, selection is competitive even among otherwise-eligible applicants — meeting the base criteria doesn’t guarantee a seat. If you’re not selected, checking BEEF directly is a reasonable next step, since it’s a larger program with more capacity for Balochistan students specifically.
Solve — If Something Goes Wrong
- You don’t fit either PEEF track (DAE-to-Graduation or Master’s): Check BEEF at beef.org.pk instead, since it covers a broader range of levels including intermediate and technical education.
- Your family income is slightly over Rs. 60,000/month: You would not meet PEEF’s Balochistan-allocation criteria as stated; BEEF may have different income thresholds worth checking separately.
- You’re already receiving a BEEF scholarship: You cannot also receive a PEEF scholarship for the same period — the two are mutually exclusive per official guidance.
- Application status unclear: Contact PEEF’s helpdesk through the official portal, not a third-party site, since fake “PEEF Balochistan” assistance pages exist online.
What’s Next
Decide which program — PEEF’s Balochistan allocation or BEEF — actually fits your education level and situation, then apply through the correct official portal. Keep your income and academic documents ready, since both programs require them at application time.
FAQs
Is this the same as the Honhaar Scholarship?
No — “Honhaar” is a separate, Punjab-only undergraduate scholarship administered by Punjab’s Higher Education Commission and doesn’t extend to Balochistan. This page covers PEEF’s own limited scholarship allocation specifically reserved for Balochistan students.
Can I apply to both PEEF and BEEF?
No, a student can receive a scholarship from only one of the two programs at a time, not both simultaneously, according to official guidance.
How many scholarships does PEEF actually offer to Balochistan students?
PEEF’s Balochistan allocation is limited to 30 scholarships for DAE district toppers pursuing graduation-level study, and 30 for students already enrolled in Master’s programs — a small, fixed number rather than an open-ended program.
What’s the income limit for PEEF’s Balochistan scholarships?
Combined monthly parental income must be Rs. 60,000 or less, though children of government employees in BPS 1-4 are exempt from this limit if salary is their only income source.
Should I apply to BEEF instead?
If your education level (such as intermediate or technical education) or circumstances don’t fit PEEF’s narrow DAE-to-Graduation or Master’s tracks, BEEF is likely the more relevant program, since it’s Balochistan’s own broader scholarship fund covering more levels.
