The Punjab government, through the Higher Education Department and the Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC), has opened applications for the Chief Minister's Honhaar Undergraduate Scholarship Program 2026, offering 50,000 merit-based scholarships to undergraduate students with limited financial resources. Applications must be submitted online only, with no hard copy required, through the official portal honhaarscholarship.punjabhec.gov.pk. There is no application fee, and PHEC has warned students about fake websites and links that ask applicants to pay money. The last date to apply is November 9, 2026. To be eligible, applicants must hold a Punjab domicile and be enrolled in undergraduate degree programs in selected disciplines at selected public or private universities and colleges. There is no age limit, and the program is open to students of any gender, with selection based on merit. The scholarship is income-tested: monthly family income must be below Rs. 350,000 for students at public sector higher education institutions, and below Rs. 500,000 for students at federal or private sector institutions. The scholarship covers the recipient's tuition fee for the full duration of the undergraduate program, which typically runs four to five years.
