About the Honhaar Scholarship Phase 4
The Chief Minister’s Honhaar Undergraduate Scholarship Program is a Government of Punjab higher-education initiative administered through the Punjab Higher Education Commission. Phase IV is the current 2026 round for students enrolled in selected undergraduate disciplines at participating universities, colleges, and public medical or dental institutions.
The official University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Phase IV notice identifies 50,000 scholarships and a 9 November 2026 deadline. The Islamia University of Bahawalpur Phase IV announcement confirms that both newly admitted Fall 2026 students and active undergraduates can apply under the criteria that match their study stage.
This page updates an older AJK registration guide because Phase IV is a fresh official cycle with different published criteria. The working page URL is retained to avoid creating a competing Honhaar page.
Financial Benefits
Honhaar Scholarship Phase 4 covers 100% of the tuition fee for selected students. The published duration is four to five years, depending on the normal length of the approved undergraduate degree program.
The official Phase IV notices do not promise accommodation, meals, transport, devices, visa costs, or a cash stipend. Applicants should treat the award as tuition-fee support unless the official portal or their institution provides a written benefit specific to their case.
Meeting the published eligibility rules does not guarantee an award. Selection is merit-based and depends on document verification, institutional confirmation, and the program’s final decision.
Program Structure
Phase IV separates applicants by their current stage of study:
- New students: first-semester or first-year students admitted in Fall 2026 apply using Matric and Intermediate results. First-year MBBS and BDS students enrolled in 2026 are included where their institution and program are approved.
- Continuing students: students in the second semester or year onward at selected public-sector institutions apply using their latest academic performance. The IUB notice tells continuing students to enter their Fall 2026 semester details and Spring 2026 CGPA.
Every applicant must select an institution and discipline that appears in the official portal. A university’s participation does not automatically make every campus or degree eligible.
Eligibility Requirements
All Phase IV applicants must hold a Punjab domicile. The official notices state that there is no age limit and no gender restriction. Applicants must be enrolled in a selected discipline at a selected institution and must satisfy the income and academic rules for their category.
Income limits
- For public-sector higher education institutions, monthly family income must be below PKR 350,000.
- For participating federal or private institutions in the new-student category, monthly family income must be below PKR 500,000.
- An income affidavit on e-stamp paper is required. Applicants should download the current sample from the official portal.
Academic thresholds for new Fall 2026 students
| Institution type | Science | Arts or social sciences |
|---|---|---|
| Public universities or colleges | At least 70% | At least 65% |
| Participating federal or private universities | At least 70% | At least 65% |
| Higher Education Department colleges | At least 65% | At least 60% |
| Public MBBS or BDS programs | At least 80% | Not applicable |
For new students, the published merit calculation uses 30% Matric marks and 70% Intermediate marks.
Academic thresholds for continuing students
The Phase IV criteria published by participating universities set a minimum equivalent of 70% for science disciplines and 65% for arts or social-science disciplines at public universities and colleges. Public MBBS and BDS applicants in later years need at least 60% in the relevant annual examination. Applicants should use the category displayed for their institution in the live portal.
Required Documents
The exact upload fields in the official portal control each application. An official Rawalpindi Women University guidance page lists the following records as the standard preparation set:
- applicant CNIC or B-Form;
- parent or guardian CNIC;
- Punjab domicile certificate;
- recent passport-size photograph;
- university student card or enrolment evidence;
- latest academic transcript or result card;
- parent or guardian income certificate or salary slip;
- family-income affidavit where required; and
- any additional evidence requested in the portal.
Upload clear, unaltered files and use the same name, CNIC or B-Form number, marks, semester, and income information shown on official records. Incomplete or misleading information can cause rejection.
How to Apply
- Open the official Honhaar Scholarship portal.
- Read the current Phase IV criteria and check that your institution, campus, and discipline are listed.
- Create an account or sign in with the credentials requested by the portal.
- Choose the applicant category that matches your study stage: new Fall 2026 student or continuing student.
- Enter personal, domicile, family-income, and academic information exactly as shown on your records.
- Upload every required supporting document, including the prescribed income affidavit.
- Review the application before submission. Do not select a different discipline merely to bypass a missing option.
- Submit online before 9 November 2026 and save the acknowledgement or application reference.
If the official portal does not load, do not submit documents through a third-party form. Retry the official address later or ask your institution’s Honhaar focal person for help.
If the portal does not list the correct program or if a record cannot be verified, contact the financial-aid office or Honhaar focal person at your institution before submitting. The application is online only; official Phase IV notices say that no hard copy is required.
