The mission of the PEP Foundation is to promote the right of all students in Pakistan to access quality higher education and to equip young people with the academic skills and social conscience needed to become active participants in the development of society. In particular, the Foundation strives to address the needs of economically disadvantaged but academically gifted students who would otherwise be denied higher education.

The PEP Foundation is a public, non-profit, apolitical organization that was founded by two world famous Alzheimer disease scientists, Drs. Khalid Iqbal and Inge Grundke-Iqbal in December 1994.

The PEP Foundation is currently engaged in these projects:

• Organizing its third National Education Forum on Higher Education, in cooperation with HEC, on March 12, 2015 at the University of Punjab, Lahore
  
  
• Establishing Student Advancement Fund Endowments (SAFEs) at universities in Pakistan to provide scholarships for talented but financially disadvantaged students
