The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Employees Foundation (EEF) has announced a new round of merit-based scholarships for the 2026-27 academic year, aimed at the children of employees working in the province's education department. The scholarships are awarded annually under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Employees Foundation Act, 2018. Eligible applicants are students enrolled at the SSC, HSSC, or bachelor's degree level in either government or recognised private institutions, provided their parent or guardian is a registered employee of the EEF. Selection is based purely on academic merit, with the foundation reviewing applicants' previous examination results to prepare merit lists. The announcement does not specify the number of scholarships available or the exact financial amount awarded to each recipient. Students interested in applying have until January 15, 2027 to submit their forms. To apply, students must first obtain the prescribed merit scholarship application form from the EEF office or download it from the foundation's official website. The completed form needs to be attested by the designated authorities before submission. Applicants are required to attach several supporting documents along with the form, including attested copies of their academic marks certificate, a domicile certificate, a Form-B, the employee parent's CNIC, and a salary slip showing the employee's contributions to the foundation. The application must also include the employee's EEF registration number as proof that the parent is a registered contributor. Completed forms can be submitted either directly at the EEF office or routed through the applicant's parent's department. Students are encouraged to confirm the latest requirements and any updates to the process through the EEF's official website before submitting their applications.
