The Fulbright Scholar Program for Pakistan 2025 is a great opportunity for those who are interested in teaching, doing post-doctoral research, or both. This program is a fully funded scholarship for Ph.D. scholars who want to make a big impact in their societies through research. During the Fulbright program, scholars will do research at U.S. colleges or universities. Additionally, this fantastic USEFP Fulbright opportunity allows one fully funded dependent of the selected candidate to join them in the U.S. for free. So, eligible candidates should not miss this chance.
This year, USEFP offers a yearlong fully funded scholarship program in the USA for Ph.D. scholars, professionals, and artists from all fields. The selected candidates are expected to share the culture and norms of their society with students, colleagues, and community groups in the U.S. during their 12-month stay. Afterward, they are expected to return home and share their knowledge and experiences from the U.S. with their own societies. Their work in the U.S. should be reflected in the positive changes they bring to their home country.
The unique chance to come to the U.S. for free, without taking IELTS/TOEFL or any other English test, is a golden opportunity for those who are eager to make a difference in society through sharing knowledge and research. Approximately 15 scholars will be chosen for 2024. Out of these, 13 slots are for early-stage researchers with 2-7 years of experience, and the remaining two slots are for senior scholars with 8-15 years of experience after completing their Ph.D. or final degree.
The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan invites applications for the 2024 Fulbright Scholar Program with the goal of promoting cultural exchange between the U.S. and Pakistan. Applicants must have a clear idea and well-prepared proposal about what they want to achieve in the U.S. through their research and how it will benefit their community in Pakistan. This program is an excellent chance for Pakistani scholars to contribute to their community and make significant progress in their fields. Therefore, dedicated and deserving scholars should not miss this opportunity.
