Honhaar Scholarship Phase 4: Final-Week Checklist Before 9 November Deadline

Students applying for the CM Punjab Honhaar Undergraduate Scholarship Phase IV have one week left to complete their applications. The scheme, run by the Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC), covers 100% of tuition fees for selected students, and applications close on 9 November 2026. This final-week checklist covers who can apply, which documents to keep ready, how verification works, and — just as importantly — what has not been announced yet, so no applicant is caught out by a rumour in the last few days.

Who Can Apply in Phase 4

• Fall 2026 newcomers: Students who joined in Fall 2026 in their first semester or first year at an eligible institution can apply.
• Continuing students: Students in their second semester or second year onward at eligible institutions are also covered by Phase IV.
• Full tuition coverage: Selected students receive 100% of their tuition fees under the scheme.
• Eligible institutions only: Your institution must be among those eligible under the scheme, so confirm this before you apply.

If you are unsure whether your programme or institution qualifies, your institution’s departmental focal person is the right person to ask, and asking early leaves time to fix any problem.

Who Is Not Eligible

Per current guidance, the following students are not eligible for Phase IV, even if they study at an eligible institution:

• ADP students: Associate Degree Programme students are not eligible under current guidance.
• BS Lateral Entry students: Students admitted through BS Lateral Entry are not eligible.
• MS students: Master of Science students are not covered by this undergraduate scheme.
• MPhil students: MPhil students are not eligible under current guidance.
• PhD students: PhD students are likewise not eligible for Phase IV.

Documents to Keep Ready

• E-stamp affidavit: An e-stamp affidavit confirming family income is required, so arrange it well before the deadline.
• Institution requirements: Hard-copy submission rules vary by institution, so confirm your own institution’s list in advance.
• Keep copies: Keep a copy of everything you submit, including the affidavit, in case verification raises a question later.
• Check details twice: Read every entry before submitting, because no application correction method has been confirmed yet.

How Verification Works

• Departmental focal person: Verification runs through your institution’s departmental focal person.
• Early contact matters: Speak to your focal person before you submit, not after, so any mismatch can be sorted in time.
• Hard-copy rules vary: Some institutions ask for hard copies and some do not, so follow your own institution’s instructions.
• Do not wait for a reminder: Verification takes time, and the 9 November deadline will not move for an individual case.

What Has Not Been Announced Yet

Several important details have not been confirmed, and applicants should not rely on social media claims about them:

• Merit list date: No date for the merit list has been confirmed.
• Final number of selected students: The final number of students to be selected has not been confirmed.
• Objection or appeal deadline: No objection or appeal deadline has been announced.
• Fee payment schedule: The schedule for fee payments to institutions has not been confirmed.
• Application correction method: No method for correcting a submitted application has been confirmed, so submit carefully the first time.

Final-Week Action Plan

• Apply before the last day: Do not leave your application to 9 November itself, when portal slowness and heavy traffic are most likely.
• Confirm with your focal person: Get your verification confirmed while there is still time to correct any issue.
• Save your proof: Keep a record of your submitted application for your own reference.
• Use the official portal only: Apply through the PHEC portal linked above and ignore anyone offering to speed up your application for a fee.

Read your form once more from top to bottom before pressing submit. A small error in a name, programme or income detail can be hard to fix afterwards, especially since no correction method has been announced. If anything on the form is unclear, your focal person can clarify it faster than any online group.

Conclusion

The 9 November 2026 deadline is now days away. Eligible Fall 2026 and continuing students should confirm their eligibility, prepare the e-stamp affidavit, complete verification through their focal person, and submit on the official PHEC portal without waiting for the final day. What has not been announced — the merit list date, selection numbers and correction method — should be awaited from official channels only.
