The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) on Thursday announced it was extending the application deadline for 2012 Fulbright Masters and PhD scholarships to June 15.
Speaking at a briefing in Islamabad, USEFP Executive Director Rita Akhtar said, “We are very fortunate that we have the world’s largest Fulbright programme in Pakistan. Opportunities for Pakistani students to study in the US have never been greater, and we want to encourage students in remote and disadvantaged parts of the country to apply.” In 2011, Fulbright scholarships allowed over 386 Pakistanis to study in the US.
She said, “This is one example of the US government’s long-term commitment to the education of Pakistanis and to increase mutual understanding between the two countries.” Since USEFP’s inception more than 60 years ago, nearly 4,000 Pakistanis and more than 800 Americans have participated in USEFP administered exchange programmes. The Fulbright programme is just one of many US-government funded educational, professional, and cultural exchange programmes for Pakistan.
I personally observed on the USEFP and extremely like to participating program for every student whose belong to mid groups in our country.
