Partner with usQuestions students ask us
Is Honhaar free?
Yes. Searching, tools, guides, contests and the personal match are free. We are funded by advertising, sponsors and donations — never by students.
Do you take scholarship applications?
No. We point you to each official website. Apply only on the provider’s own portal, and never pay anyone to “guarantee” a scholarship.
Are you connected with the Punjab (Pakistan) Honhaar Scholarship?
No. “Honhaar” is a common word meaning promising. We are an independent site. For that programme, use only the official Government of Punjab / Punjab HEC portal, which we link to in our finder.
How accurate are the deadlines?
We show the month a window usually closes, based on recent cycles. Providers change dates every year, so always confirm on the official site before you plan.
What happens after I request a free match?
We review your details and email suggestions. If you tick the optional box, selected education partners (such as universities, lenders or counsellors) may also contact you about options that fit your goals. You can opt out any time.
