Looking at the horizon of a nation’s devel-opment, nothing seems more important than the provision of quality education. It is the light of knowledge that can make a country economically and industrially a force to reckon with, thus leading the way for future prosperity and integrated social growth.When the idea of PEEF was floated in late 2008, the Punjab Government imme-diately decided to adopt and sponsor it because it was focused on empowering the youth of the province by investing in education and providing opportunities to the less privileged but talented students to realize their potential and carve a better destiny for themselves and for this nation. The PEEF’s guiding light was not to be a mere scholarship fund but to change the landscape and the horizon for the de-prived and the under-privileged students by affording them an opportunity to move up the ladder in society by educating

themselves.Today, I want to express my pleasure at the rapid strides taken by the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund (PEEF) since its inception. More than 100,000 scholarships and counting is a remarkable achievement that any similar endowment fund anywhere in the world can be proud of. All this has been accomplished by installing best management practices and systems which makes it impossible to disregard merit. I am quite hopeful that the PEEF’s impact, which has already started to reflect massively with its first graduates passing out from top educational institu-tions in this country and some from quality universities abroad as well, shall be quite pronounced in the years to come.I sincerely hope that PEEF’s management would strive hard and work with contin-uous zeal and commitment to serve the nation and make PEEF a resounding success.

From zero to 100,000 scholarships in six years, the figures speak for themselves. Each of these 100,000 scholarships has a tremendous impact on the lives of recipients and their entire families. Hundreds have succeeded in pulling themselves and their future generations out of poverty, hundreds have served as role models for their families and communities, and hundreds have helped encourage students in their schools to follow their example.PEEF’s success is a result of the vision of our Chairman, Mr. Shahbaz Sharif, CM, Punjab; the dedication of our management and the trust of our beneficiaries. We are also fortunate to have friends like the UK Gov-ernment’s Department for International Development (DFID), which has made generous contributions to PEEF’s operations and its continuing support through its Punjab Education Sector Programme II.I am confident that the value added by PEEF will make an enormous contribution to the development of our beloved country.

2015 marks a landmark achievement for PEEF. This year, we awarded our 100,000th scholarship and transformed the lives of over 100,000 talented, persistent young boys and girls. These recipients were the most deserving students from less privileged section of society; they preserved to study hard amidst a variety of adversities, such as, in-come limitations, geographic locations, and physical disabilities. They traveled long distances to school, many of them worked after school to contribute to their family’s income, a large number helped take care of elderly parents and younger siblings, and some gave up, only start-ing over again.In the coming months, PEEF aspires to expand its endowment so that it can continue to improve its targeting and thus its scholarships. With help from generous partners, we hope that, in the coming years, we can meet our aspiration and transform the lives of millions of needy students across the country.

peeF has adopted a proactive approach by providing scholar-ships at the door steps of the meritorious and needy students. From acquiring data from pun-jab examination commission (pec), all Boards of Intermediate & secondary education (BIses) of punjab and Federal Board of Intermediate & secondary education (FBIse), Islamabad to compiling, verifying and finally awarding scholarships.this involves carefully drafted and implemented methodology that has been adopted and prac-ticed by peeF since its estab-lishment. peeF reaches out to talented yet financially disadvantaged students at tehsil level to ensure that financial challenges do not keep meritorious students away from continuing their education. peeF promotes education by facilitating both genders equally and providing them opportunities to fulfill their dreams and aspira-

tions so that they become part-ners in nation’s development. For selecting and awarding scholarships to the deserving students; PEEF follows the below given process which ensures transparency, accu-racy and convenience of the candidates:a. peeF obtains data of stu-dents from pec, all BIses, FBIse, pBte, and provincial education departments based on the eligibility criteria outlined by the organization.b. on receipts of names of students, peeF writes letters to all shortlisted students for peeF scholarship. c. A scholarship application form along with intimation letter is sent that has to be filled by the short listed students, verified by the institution where he/she is currently enrolled and sent back to peeF (forms are also attested by the concerned Govt. official i.e. edo (edu), do colleges,

etc.)d. All the received scholarship forms are scrutinized by peeF for final selection and award of scholarship. e. peeF enlists selected candi-dates and writes them confirma-tion letters with copies to re-spective educational institutions and district Focal committees for information and further nec-essary action. f. the names of scholarship recipients are also uploaded on peeF website.g. scholarship stipend is dis-bursed through e-scholarship card on biannual basis through the educational institution where the scholar is currently enrolled. h. second/next installment of scholarship stipend is released once the institution provides a satisfactory performance report about student academics, atten-dance, general conduct etc.

satisFactiOn level OF peeF schOlars:Feedback from beneficiaries shows that almost 100% were satis-fied with the scholarship disbursement processes. Since PEEF has introduced payment of stipend through e-card and no hard cash is involved in this regard. this is another step of peeF towards em-powering youth in basic social skills.

this shows that peeF scholars are utilizing scholarship amount in fulfilling their educational expenditures. 100% scholars were utilizing scholarship stipend on their educational affairs including books, institutional Fee, uniform, transportation and supporting their sibling’s education.
