Does anyone know about international scholarships that Pakistani high school students can apply for? I'm planning to study abroad post-graduation and need financial help to make it happen. Any leads or advice would be much appreciated!
Absolutely, there are numerous scholarships and financial aid opportunities available for international students, including Pakistani students. Here are a few, to get started:
1. The United World Colleges (UWC) Scholarship: International high school students, including from Pakistan, can earn a scholarship to study at a UWC school. The scholarship is needs-based.
2. Fulbright Foreign Student Program: This is a significant scholarship program that provides fully funded scholarships, including airfare, tuition, textbooks, and a living stipend, for students from Pakistan to pursue masters or doctoral degrees at U.S. universities.
3. Joint Japan World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program: This one supports students from World Bank member countries (including Pakistan) interested in pursuing graduate studies in subjects related to economic development.
4. The Australian Government also offers numerous scholarships for international students through its Australia Awards initiative. These are highly competitive scholarships and fellowships funded by the Australian Government to study at the undergraduate or graduate level.
I would advise you to contact directly the financial aid office or international students office at the universities you're interested in applying to. They're often the most knowledgeable about specific scholarship resources your institution offers to international students.
Remember, many scholarships are quite competitive, so it's a good idea to start researching and applying as soon as possible. Also, keep an eye on the deadlines and requirements, and pay careful attention to the eligibility criteria and documentations needed.
