What Happens After You Apply?
After the closing date, Punjab HEC checks and verifies the applications. Your marks are verified with your board, your enrolment is confirmed from your institution, and a merit list is prepared with the Matric 30% + Intermediate 70% formula. Provisional merit lists are published on the same official portal, and students can see their status by logging in. If your name is in the final list, your 100% tuition fee is paid directly to your university or college — the money is not given to the student in cash. So keep checking the portal after applying, and respond quickly if the portal asks you for any correction or document.
No monthly stipend: Some posts claim a “Rs. 20,000 monthly stipend” — that is false. This scholarship pays 100% tuition fee to the institution only.
No age limit of 22 years has been announced for Phase 4 — such claims in forwards are also false.
Applying is completely free and online. Never pay any agent, and never use any “apply service” number shared in WhatsApp forwards.
For any problem, contact only the official help desk: honhaar@punjabhec.gov.pk or 042-99231903 / 04.
Conclusion
Honhaar Scholarship Phase 4 can remove the full tuition burden of your BS degree if you are a Punjab student with good marks and limited family income. Prepare your documents and apply online at the Punjab HEC portal before 9 November 2026.
