Every year, the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) arranges Fulbright scholarship for Pakistani students that allows them to acquire their Masters and Ph.D. degrees in the best universities of the United States. Just like every year, this year as well, the scholarship has been announced for the year 2022-2023.
Opportunity to study Masters
You can opt to study Master’s in the world’s best institutes because we are all aware of how much value the US places in the field of education. To be eligible for this category, the candidate should have a four-year undergraduate degree. In case the candidate does not have a four-year degree, he/she should possess a combined Bachelors and Masters equalling 16 years of education. It should be from an accredited university, so if HEC verifies your degree, you will have proof that it was.

Ph.D. programs
You can also apply to attain your Ph.D. from the United States. But to apply for that, you must possess 18 years of education from an accredited university. You must also have a degree Master’s, M.Phil, or comparable degree.
Requirements
To apply for Fulbright, you need to prepare some clauses. Just like any other scholarship application, you need your passport id, three reference letters, educational documents, an application form, and GRE score report.
For the GRE test, the candidates need to score a minimum of 138 in the verbal and 136 in the quantitative. This clause is essential because to ensure a smooth application process for Fulbright 2021-2022, USEFP accepted applications without the score.
