USEFP Fulbright Scholarship 2025

The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan USEFP invites applications for the 2025 Fulbright Scholar Program. This prestigious program offers 15 scholars the opportunity to engage in academic and cultural exchange in the United States. Out of these slots, 13 are designated for faculty and researchers who are in the early stages of their research careers, with 2-7 years of experience. The remaining 2 slots are reserved for senior scholars with 8-15 years of experience since completing their Ph.D. or terminal degree.

The Fulbright Scholar Program provides funding for up to 12 months of lectureship, post-doctoral research, or a combination of both at a U.S. college or university. Selected scholars are expected to actively share information about Pakistani society and culture with students, colleagues, and community groups in the United States. Upon their return to Pakistan, these scholars are anticipated to significantly contribute to Pakistans development by sharing their U.S. experiences with students, colleagues, and community groups back home.
