This is the Honhaar Scholarship 2026 how to apply guide for the new phase announced in Jang on 25 October 2026. We read the ad, then checked every claim on the official portal, its FAQ page, its “How to Apply” PDF, the affidavit template and the Google Play listing. Where something is not published, we say so. Our earlier article covers the BS 1st-semester rules and the video guide: CM Punjab Honhaar Scholarship 2026 for BS 1st Semester. This page is the complete walkthrough: what is new, every document, every form field, and the days left.

Honhaar Scholarship 2026 Eligibility: Who Can Apply

Minimum Marks and the Merit Formula

Universities, Colleges and Disciplines Covered

The portal’s Institutes page has three tabs. On 25 October 2026 we counted about 91 university entries, about 370 HED colleges and 16 medical and dental colleges (list items on the page). The Discipline page lists the 70 selected disciplines, for example AI/Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Science, Engineering, MBBS, BDS, Law, Pharmacy, Nursing, Business Administration, Education, Agriculture, Mass Communication, Urdu, English and many more. Always check your own university and your own degree title: if they are not listed, you cannot apply.

• If your programme is missing from the portal’s drop-down, the FAQ tells you to ask your institution’s focal person.
• Private universities appear on the list only as partners for 1st-year (Fall 2026) students.

Documents Checklist for Honhaar Scholarship 2026

What is not on the official list: the portal FAQ does not name an admission letter, fee voucher or parent CNIC as mandatory uploads. Some other websites list them. Keep your admission proof and fee voucher ready anyway, because your institution’s focal person verifies applications, but follow what the portal asks.

Income Affidavit on E-Stamp Paper: Step by Step

The affidavit proves that your monthly family income is within the limit. The official template (a Word file you download from the portal’s Eligibility tab or home page) is short. We read it on 25 October 2026. It contains:

• Your name, CNIC, father’s name and address.
• A declaration that all information in your application is true, accurate and complete.
• A declaration that family monthly income does not exceed Rs 350,000 (public-sector universities, HED colleges, medical and dental colleges) or Rs 500,000 (federal/private universities).
• A warning that false information can mean disqualification and legal action.
• Signature of the deponent, plus a witness: name, address, CNIC number and signature, with date and place.

How to Apply for Honhaar Scholarship 2026 Online: Step by Step With Screenshots

Step 1: Prepare before you open the portal

• Check that your university and discipline are on the lists above.
• Keep ready: CNIC, Matric and Intermediate result cards, domicile, e-stamp affidavit, photo, and your university registration or roll number and admission date.
• Have a working email and mobile number: updates come by email.

Step 2: Open the official portal

Type honhaarscholarship.punjabhec.gov.pk yourself, or scan the website QR code in the ad. On the home page press Login (top right) or Apply Now. The page says “New Registration is now open for Punjab students”. The menu also has Home, Discipline, Institutes, FAQs, Help Desk and How to Apply (a video).

Step 3: Register (first time only)

On the login page press Register. The registration form on the live portal has these fields:

Step 4: Save your username and password

After Submit the official guide says a confirmation message appears with your username and password, and an email is also sent. Save both. Then log in with them.

Step 5: Log in

The portal’s own note says: if you get a wrong username/password or captcha problem, use a browser private/incognito window.

Step 6: Eligibility tab and the sample affidavit

After login the Student Portal opens with tabs: Eligibility → Personal Detail → Address → Education → Documents → Review. The first tab repeats the eligibility rules. Press Download Sample Affidavit (if you have not prepared it yet), then press NEXT at the bottom right. Fields marked with * are mandatory.

Step 7: Personal Detail tab

Fill every starred field correctly. Dates are chosen from the calendar, not typed. The official guide’s form has these fields, from top to bottom:

At the bottom of each tab you have three buttons: SAVE AND EXIT, PREVIOUS PAGE and SAVE AND CONTINUE. Press Save and Continue to save and move on. Use Save and Exit if you need to stop and finish later.

Step 8: Address tab

Step 9: Education tab

Enter your results exactly as printed on the result cards. There are two blocks:

If your latest result has not been announced, the FAQ says to enter the available information accurately, follow the portal’s instructions and ask your institution’s focal person before submitting.

Step 10: Documents tab

Upload six files, each with its own Choose file button and a green “Click to upload …” button: CNIC front, CNIC back, Matric/O-Level certificate, Intermediate/A-Level certificate, Domicile certificate, Affidavit. After each upload the page shows “Image uploaded successfully”. Then press Save and Continue.

Step 11: Review tab

The Review tab shows: “By submitting this application, I confirm that all the information provided is accurate and complete… false or misleading information may result in the disqualification of my application or revocation of the scholarship.” It also warns: you cannot edit your application once you click Submit. Press Review to open the review-only version of your form and check every line against your documents. Go back with Previous Page to fix any mistake.

Step 12: Submit (the most important step)

Press SUBMIT. The portal shows “Thank you for applying in Honhaar Scholarship!”. The guide stresses that submission is mandatory: a saved but unsubmitted form is not an application.

Step 13: After submitting

An application ID is generated automatically and your status appears under “My Applications” (in the sample: “Pending for verification”). You can Print Application and save a copy. Screenshot or print it.

A Simple Plan for the 15 Days Left

This is our suggestion, not an official schedule:

After You Submit: Verification, Corrections and Results

• Verification: your institution’s focal person checks your application. If something is wrong, the FAQ says to contact the focal person; where a correction chance is given you must fix and resubmit in time or the application can be treated as ineligible.
• Updates: by the email you gave (check spam/junk too), on the portal, or through your institution.
• Selection: merit based, after verification and subject to the number of scholarships. The portal gives no result date.
• Payment: the tuition fee is paid for you, directly to the institution, not to the student (earlier PHEC terms and our earlier article say so; the 2026 portal does not repeat this in the FAQ).

Keeping the Scholarship: CGPA and Other Rules

The PHEC SOPs PDF on the portal (which we read on 16 October 2026) sets a minimum 2.70 CGPA to keep the scholarship, and says that at federal/private universities PHEC pays 50% and the university bears the other 50% of the fee. The older January 2025 Terms & Conditions PDF (2.50 GPA per semester, 3.00 CGPA, and “admission charges” covered) is outdated and conflicts with the SOPs. Both files are linked from the portal footer; read the SOPs yourself and ask your university how the 50% share works for you: SOPs PDF · Terms & Conditions PDF.

Other terms in the Terms PDF: you may not change university (that cancels the scholarship); you may change course within the same university only with intimation to PHEC; complete your programme within the academic calendar.

Common Mistakes That Lose Applications

• Saving the form but never pressing Submit.
• Using someone else’s CNIC to register (disqualification).
• Creating a second account when the portal says the CNIC already exists: log in instead.
• Income figure in the form different from the affidavit.
• Blurry, cropped or oversized scans; the affidavit missing the stamp or witness details.
• Picking the wrong degree title or institution type.
• Waiting for the last day.
• Using a fee-waiver or another government scholarship at the same time and not disclosing it.

Honhaar Help Desk and Contacts

Honest Gaps: What Is Not Published

• How many of the 50,000 scholarships go to each institution, discipline or category.
• The merit list date, the cut-off marks, and the exact date scholarships start.
• The exact fields behind the login for the 2026 phase. We did not log in, so the field-by-field screenshots are from the official 2025 guide; check your live screen.
• The merit formula for 2nd-semester applicants.
• Whether the mobile app mirrors every step of the website (we have not tested it).
• A deadline extension. Earlier phases were extended, but none is announced now. Plan for 9 November.
