Gilgit Baltistan Investment Board Vice Chairman Raja Nazimul Amin said this expo is a very good opportunity for students of Chitral to learn about available opportunities for international scholarships.
Throughout the day, students and professionals visited the expo and talked to representatives from national and international educational institutions for career guidance and information.
A recent Erasmus Graduate, Kisa Fatima and AjayTanwani came to the expo for information on Erasmus and IELTS for foreign universities. Kisa said anything which is stopping you from applying to these scholarships is not something impossible, you just need to trust yourself and have good intentions to achieve it.
A number of professionals including university and development sector experts also visited the expo, for information on postgraduate studies.
AusAid Scholarship’s Hayat Muhammad Khan talked about Australian Universities and the process of application of AusAid. University of Bristol Country Manager Saif Uddin motivated the youth towards their dream.
