Honhaar Scholarship Phase 4 Merit List is the next big question for thousands of Punjab students, now that the application deadline has been extended to 19 November 2026. The provisional merit lists have not been announced yet, and no merit-list date has been given. Students should watch the official portal for discipline-wise and institution-wise lists, and should not trust any list shared on social media.
Phase 4 was first due to close on 9 November 2026, but the Punjab Education Department extended the deadline to 19 November 2026 in an official Facebook post on 10 November 2026. Students who miss the deadline will have to wait for the next phase. The scholarship covers 100 percent tuition for Punjab-domiciled undergraduates at selected universities, Higher Education Department colleges and public medical and dental colleges. It is run by the Punjab Higher Education Commission.

What the Scholarship Covers
The Honhaar Scholarship covers 100 percent of tuition fees for Punjab-domiciled undergraduate students. It applies at selected universities, Higher Education Department colleges and public medical and dental colleges across Punjab. The programme is run by the Punjab Higher Education Commission, known as PHEC. It covers 68 selected disciplines, so students should check that their degree programme is on the approved list before applying.
- Coverage: 100% tuition fee for undergraduates.
- Institutions: selected universities, HED colleges and public medical/dental colleges.

How Merit Is Calculated
Merit for new entrants is calculated from 30 percent Matric marks and 70 percent Intermediate marks. Continuing students are judged on their latest CGPA instead. This means Intermediate results carry the most weight for first-year applicants, while recent university performance decides the case for students already enrolled. Students should make sure the marks entered in their application match their official result cards exactly.
- New entrants: 30% Matric + 70% Intermediate.
- Continuing students: latest CGPA.
- Accuracy matters: entered marks must match official result cards.
