"The Fulbright Programme is a cornerstone of the strong ties between the American and Pakistani people," Christopher Fitzgerald, Minister Counsellor for Public Affairs at the United States Mission in Pakistan, said.
"Fulbright is not just an academic scholarship - it is a programme that produces strong leaders who return to Pakistan upon completion of their studies and make a difference in improving their communities.
“And because Pakistani Fulbrighters come from diverse backgrounds and regions, the impact is felt nationwide across society, spanning the nearly seven decades of Fulbright in Pakistan.
“We expect the Fulbright programme to receive applications from dedicated students who seek to develop academically, participate in the opportunities the United States offers, and who will build a more secure and prosperous Pakistan."
The Fulbright Programme in Pakistan covers travel, living stipends, health insurance, and tuition for the entire period of study.
"I would like to encourage anyone who is eligible and interested in graduate education to consider applying to the prestigious Fulbright Programme.

Among successful applicants, some are fresh graduates, others are working professionals, and in recent years more than half are women,” USEFP Executive Director Rita Akhtar said.
“To become a Fulbrighter, it's important to have a good academic record but it's just as important to have a commitment to returning to Pakistan and using the degree to make a positive difference."
