The Balochistan Education Endowment Fund (BEEF) has officially launched the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Matric District Toppers Fully Funded Scholarship Program for the academic year 2026.  The announcement was made by BEEF Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Khalid Mandai under the special directives of Mir Sarfraz Bugti. 

The program continues BEEF’s efforts to provide higher education opportunities to talented students across the province. It is specifically designed for students from all districts of Balochistan who secured top positions in the annual matriculation examinations of 2026. 

According to the provisional merit list, the top 10 students from each district — including five boys and five girls — will receive fully funded scholarships.  The merit list has been prepared using data provided by the respective education boards.

However, officials clarified that the list is provisional, and students who obtained high marks but do not find their names included may submit scholarship forms or objections to the BEEF office by June 30, 2026.  The initiative aims to ensure that deserving students receive financial support to continue their education without financial barriers.
