ISLAMABAD, Jan 12: The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) invites Pakistanis to apply for the prestigious 2024 Fulbright Student Program.
Funded by the United States Government, the Fulbright Program in Pakistan is the world’s largest in terms of financial contribution.
The highly competitive and merit-based scholarship covers graduate study, including tuition, maintenance, insurance, and air travel. The application is available at www.usefp.org, with a deadline of April 12, 2023.
USEFP welcomes applicants in all disciplines, including energy, water, agriculture, health, education, environmental science, and climate change. While clinical medicine is not included in the Fulbright Program, non-clinical public health applications are encouraged.
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for all applicants. Under the new scoring system, a minimum score of 145 is required in the Verbal and Quantitative sections of the exam.
“The Fulbright program is the United States' premier academic exchange program, connecting people and nations and fostering mutual understanding since 1946”, noted the U.S. Embassy’s Country Public Affairs Officer Will Ostick.
“The U.S. Mission to Pakistan is proud to support one of the largest programs in the world and we look forward to meeting this year's candidates for this prestigious academic exchange.”
For the academic year 2023, USEFP received 1,157 applications and selected a record number of 217 Pakistanis for the Fulbright Program. We are proud to share that of these grantees, 60 percent are women.
In the past two decades, 2,568 Pakistanis have been awarded these scholarships to study, conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
