PNB Housing Finance Pehel Shiksha Scholarship

The PNB Housing Finance Pehel Shiksha Scholarship 2025–26 for Children of Construction Workers under Housing Project 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 under Housing Project 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.
