Fulbright Scholarship Session by Alishae Khar
Monday 11 November 2019
A Full bright session
was conducted by Ms. Alishae Khar: a full bright scholar and Lahore School of
Economics alumnus. Ms. Alishae completed her second Master’s degree from
Georgetown University, USA and had come back to Pakistan to work and serve the
country.
She talked about the Full Bright Scholarship Program which is a cultural exchange program funded by USAID, covering tuition fee, air fare, books, health care and a living stipend, as this is a 110% scholarship program.
The degree programs which are funded by Full Bright include:
1. 1-2 years (Master’s degree) and/or 5 years (PhD programs).
2. The people eligible to apply are Pakistani citizens, who are studying or working here.
3. Must not be US nationals.
4. Must have 16-18 years of formal education depending on the degree they are applying for.
5. The scholar’s sign a contract to come back to work in Pakistan after completing their program, for at least 2 years.
This is necessary so that the scholars share their experiences of studying in US and bring the culture and value to Pakistan. The session was very detailed, informative and Ms. Alishae encouraged the students to apply for Fulbright as well as the U-Grad program.
