It's a new year and the Fullbright program is back. This time around they will be awarding even more scholarships than ever before.
The Fullbright selection process is rigorous but not impossible. Last year over 150 students from Pakistan qualified for this prestigious scholarship, and among them were two of our very own from the Karachi campus:
Rakesh Kumar - TE
Vikash Khatri – TE
Some of the prerequisites to applying for the scholarship are:
1. TOEFL iBT: 90/120
2. GRE: Minimum of 300 in each individual section (subject test not required).
3. Excellent Essays and Recommendation Letters.
