How to Apply — Step by Step
- Get the prescribed form. Obtain the merit scholarship application form from the Education Employees Foundation. Education offices and institutions have been directed to distribute the forms to employees.
- Fill in the form. Complete the application form carefully with accurate personal, academic, and employment details.
- Get attestation. Have the form attested by the relevant authorities as required.
- Attach your documents. Attach attested copies of your marks certificate, domicile, Form-B, employee’s CNIC, salary slip showing foundation contributions, and the EEF registration number.
- Submit before the deadline. Submit the completed application well before January 15, 2027.
If attestation is delayed, start early and contact your education office for guidance — attestation from the relevant authorities is a required part of the application, so begin the process as soon as you receive the form rather than waiting until the deadline approaches.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the January 15 deadline — late applications are not accepted, so submit early.
- Forgetting the salary slip or EEF registration number — the salary slip proves contributions to the foundation and the registration number links the parent employee to the scheme.
- Assuming children of non-employees can apply — this scholarship is exclusively for children of KP education department employees.
- Submitting unattested copies — all required copies must be attested; unattested documents can lead to rejection.
