The program, founded in 1983, boasts a global alumni network of over 60,000 individuals, including more than 2,000 from Pakistan, who have made significant contributions across various fields. Pakistani candidates are encouraged to apply early and to prepare compelling applications that highlight their potential to drive positive change.
