The Punjab Honhaar Scholarship Phase 2 (2026) provides full tuition fee coverage for thousands of talented undergraduate students across selected public, private, and federal institutions in Punjab. Managed by the Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC), this merit-based, need-aware program aims to remove financial barriers and expand access to higher education, targeting approximately 30,000 scholarships in its second phase. Applications must be submitted online via the official Honhaar portal by 15 September 2026, and only submissions through the authorized website are accepted.
Eligible students must hold a Punjab domicile and be enrolled in the first year or semester of an undergraduate program in 2026. The scheme specifically includes first-year MBBS and BDS students. Selection is based on a merit formula that assigns 30% weightage to Matric marks and 70% to Intermediate marks. Additionally, applicants must meet the family income threshold specified on the portal, and supporting documents such as an affidavit or e-stamp may be required. Students must confirm that their chosen university or college is listed on the official Honhaar portal, as applications from non-listed institutions or disciplines are not eligible.
The scholarship covers 100% of tuition fees for the approved program at the selected institute. It is designed to support students throughout the duration of their undergraduate degree, typically 4–5 years, subject to academic performance. The program includes a wide selection of eligible institutions across public, private, and federal universities, with dedicated support available through official email and phone contacts provided on the portal.
Applicants are required to prepare clear scanned copies of their CNIC or B-Form, Punjab domicile, Matric and Intermediate transcripts, proof of family income, and any relevant certificates such as disability documentation. The step-by-step application process involves creating an account on the Honhaar portal, filling in personal, academic, and income details, selecting the program and university, uploading the required documents, and submitting the application. Applicants can track updates or queries directly through their portal dashboard.
Common mistakes to avoid include applying from a non-listed institution, entering CNIC numbers incorrectly, submitting incomplete or blurry documents, and missing the submission deadline. Applicants experiencing technical issues can try again during off-peak hours, clear browser cache, or contact the official support team via [email protected] or 042-99231903.
The Honhaar Scholarship Phase 2 is open to all genders, with eligibility determined by domicile, enrollment, merit, and family income. It provides a rare opportunity to pursue higher education tuition-free, including programs like MBBS and BDS for first-year 2026 intake students. By submitting accurate documentation through the official portal before 15 September 2026, eligible students can secure financial support for the full duration of their undergraduate studies.
