The PNB Housing Finance Pehel Shiksha Scholarship for Children of Construction Workers 2025–26 is an initiative by PNB Housing Finance Limited in partnership with Scholarlify. The program aims to reduce school and college dropout rates among children of construction workers by providing stage-appropriate financial support during critical education milestones from Classes 6 to Undergraduate (UG) level. Children from construction worker families often face financial instability, migration-related disruptions, and limited access to academic resources. Through this scholarship, PNBHFL seeks to ensure continuity of education, promote long-term retention, and enable deserving students to complete their schooling and higher education with dignity and confidence.
