Increase of Funds for US Fulbright scholarship program for Pakistan

Entries may be a little edited for clarity or brevity. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of PakPositive.

“More than 1,000 Pakistanis should receive scholarships to pursue masters and PhD degrees in America in coming years,” Dr Clark said. “This is a smart investment-for Pakistan, for its future, and for continued close ties between Pakistan and the United States. It should also strengthen professional, research and people-to-people ties between Pakistani and American universities.”

This year, 107 Pakistanis on Fulbright scholarships will begin studies for masters and PhD degrees at US universities. The application period for scholarships in 2006 recently ended. Persons interested in applying for 2007 Fulbright scholarships or who wish to learn more about the Fulbright Program may visit the USEFP website at .
