🇺🇸🤝🇵🇰 76 years of building bridges

Today, USEFP marks 76 years of the U.S.-Pakistan educational partnership, a legacy that began with the Fulbright Program and has grown into a full ecosystem connecting Pakistanis to American expertise, education, and opportunity.

Our Islamabad headquarters now brings it all under one roof:

🎓 EducationUSA — free, expert advising for Pakistanis pursuing U.S. higher education
📚 Lincoln Corner — open resources, English-language programs, and cultural exchange for the public
💡 Innovation Hive — connecting Pakistan's entrepreneurs with American expertise, technology, and markets

Together, these spaces make USEFP more than a scholarship provider, a hub where scholarship, exchange, and entrepreneurship meet.

📚 Investing in the next generation of students

EducationUSA Pakistan donated 343 books to the Akhuwat Foundation, a contribution that will directly support students preparing for higher education in the United States.
The collection includes test prep materials for the SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, and TOEFL, along with U.S. college catalogs, and will become part of the Akhuwat University Library in Kasur, currently under construction.
During the visit, EducationUSA advisers met with Dr. Amjad Saqib, Founder of the Akhuwat Foundation. Dr. Saqib, a Humphrey Fellow, attended American University in 1993.
These resources will help Akhuwat students build the skills and confidence to take competitive standardized tests and explore pathways to U.S. higher education.
