The Ehsaas Education Stipend is a government cash support program that helps low-income families keep their children in school. Today it runs under BISP’s official name, Benazir Taleemi Wazaif, but many parents still search for it by the older Ehsaas name.
This guide explains who qualifies, what the stipend offers, and how enrollment works. For more school-related updates, keep an eye on our Punjab board news.
Ehsaas Education Stipend Overview
The program was launched under the Ehsaas umbrella to reduce school dropouts, with a special focus on girls. BISP’s official page describes Benazir Taleemi Wazaif as a conditional cash transfer for children of active Kafalat beneficiaries, up to higher secondary level.
“Conditional” means payments depend on admission and attendance. It is separate from the regular Kafalat payment, and it is not a university scholarship. For university options, visit our latest scholarships 2026 page.
Who Is Eligible for the Ehsaas Education Stipend?
According to BISP, the stipend is meant for children of active Benazir Kafalat beneficiaries. The main conditions are:
- The family must be an active Kafalat beneficiary.
- The child must be enrolled in school, from primary to higher secondary level.
- Admission and attendance conditions apply. Several sources report a minimum of 70% attendance, so confirm the current rule with BISP.
- Children who repeatedly miss the attendance condition can be suspended after three consecutive quarters, as per BISP’s official page.
Age limits differ across unofficial websites, so we are not listing a fixed age. Ask your BISP office for the current rule. BISP’s 8171 service is the usual way to check your family’s status.
Ehsaas Education Stipend Benefits and Amount
Eligible children receive a cash stipend every quarter. Girls receive higher amounts to encourage them to stay in school, and the amount depends on education level.
Figures shared online conflict with each other and have changed over time, so no amounts are listed here. Ask your BISP tehsil office for the current rate table instead of trusting social media posts.
Documents Required
BISP’s official page says the mother must visit an enrollment camp or field office with her child and the required documents. We could not verify the full official list. Commonly reported documents are:
- Mother’s CNIC
- Child’s B-Form or CRC
- School admission slip or proof of enrollment
- Passport-size photographs
Confirm the list with your local BISP office before you go.
