Where to find international scholarships for Pakistani students?

As a high schooler from Pakistan considering study abroad options, I'm on the hunt for scholarships. Are there any specific international scholarships that target Pakistani students? Guidance from anyone who has been through this process would be cool.

There are indeed several scholarship programs that are either specific to Pakistani students or are open to all international students, including those from Pakistan.

One scholarship that comes to mind is the 'Fulbright Foreign Student Program' which funds Pakistani students for master's or Ph.D. degree study in the U.S.

Also, the 'Hector Scholarship' in Germany provides funding to students from all around the world, including Pakistan, for doctoral or master’s level education.

Students intending to study in the United Kingdom can look into the 'Commonwealth Scholarships' which are funded by the UK government, and they give awards to students from commonwealth countries, giving deserving students from Pakistan a fair chance.

Australia also has a couple of offerings, like the 'Australia Awards Scholarships' which are long-term awards administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Just take note that all these scholarships are extremely competitive, so it is essential to maintain a strong academic record and demonstrate clear leadership potential.

Lastly, the website Appily has a scholarship search engine which could be an additional useful tool in your search.

Remember, beyond these opportunities, many universities also offer their own tuition scholarships to international students, so be sure to check on the specific institutions you're interested in, too. It takes a bit of digging, but it's worth it!
