Honhaar Scholarship Phase IV 2026 – Last Date Extended to 19 November, Apply Online

The last date for the Honhaar Scholarship Phase IV has been extended to 19 November 2026. Punjab reopened registration on 20 October 2026, and students who missed the earlier date now have extra time to apply. The scholarship covers 100 percent of tuition fees, and 160,000 students have been supported through the programme so far.

This is a new round. It is different from the earlier Phase 2 posts on this website. If you applied in an earlier phase, read the eligibility rules for this round carefully before you apply again. Do not assume that an old application is still valid.

What Is the Honhaar Scholarship Phase IV?

The Honhaar Scholarship is a Punjab government programme for students who cannot afford university fees. It pays the full tuition fee for selected students at public institutions. The aim is to help talented students continue their studies without leaving education because of money.

Phase IV is the latest round. Registration opened on 20 October 2026. The first deadline was 9 November 2026. That date has now been extended to 19 November 2026. The portal home page shows the new deadline as 19 November 2026.

Students should apply only through the official portal. Do not pay any person or agent for an application. The official application is free.

Important Dates for Phase IV

The dates below are the ones confirmed for this round.

Registration reopened on 20 October 2026. The original last date was 9 November 2026. The extended last date is now 19 November 2026. After this date, the portal is expected to close for this round, so do not wait until the last day.

Apply early if you can. Portals often slow down on the last day because many students apply at the same time. Keep a copy of your submitted form and any reference number you receive.

Who Can Apply?

You can apply if you meet the conditions for this round.

You must have a Punjab domicile. You must be a student in the first semester or first year in Fall 2026, or a continuing student in the second semester or second year, at a selected public institution. Your family income must be less than Rs 350,000 per month for public institutions. Selection is based on merit, using matric and intermediate marks.

Read the full eligibility list on the official portal before you apply. The portal lists the selected institutions and the courses covered. If your institution or course is not listed, you are not covered in this round.

How to Apply Online

Apply through the official portal at honhaarscholarship.punjabhec.gov.pk. Do not use any other website that claims to take Honhaar applications.

First, open the portal and create an account with your own mobile number and email address. Use details that match your CNIC and academic records. Second, fill in your personal details, domicile information, family income, and academic history. Third, select your institution and programme. Fourth, upload the documents asked for on the portal. Fifth, check every field carefully and submit the form.

After submission, note your application number. You can use it to check your status on the portal. The portal, not social media, is the correct place to check the result.

Documents You May Need

Keep these documents ready before you start. The exact list can vary by institution, so the portal list is final.

You may need your CNIC or B-Form, your Punjab domicile certificate, your matric and intermediate result cards, proof of admission or enrolment, and proof of family income. You may also need a recent photograph and your university or college fee details.

Upload clear copies. Blurred or incomplete documents can delay your application. Do not upload documents that belong to another person.

What Happens After You Apply?

After you apply, your application is checked against the eligibility rules and merit list. Shortlisted students are informed through the portal. There is no fee for selection.

If your name is not on the first list, check the portal again for later lists or updates. Do not believe messages from unknown numbers that ask for money to confirm your scholarship. The programme does not ask for payment through SMS or WhatsApp.
