Islamabad: With thousands of academic programs, world-class institutions, and unmatched flexibility, the United States offers a wealth of higher-education opportunities.

To better acquaint Pakistani students with the benefits of study in the United States, representatives from 25 U.S. institutions met thousands of students and their parents this month during EducationUSA’s 15th South Asia Tour.

Between visits to schools and universities and U.S. College Fairs in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi, representatives shared valuable information about their universities’ academic programs, admissions procedures, and opportunities for financial aid.

“Americans are eager to welcome more Pakistanis to study in our country,” said Deputy Chief of Mission John Hoover. “Over the decades our partnership has created meaningful and effective professional and academic collaboration, not to mention lifelong friendships. We hope we’ll see more Pakistani students on our American campuses.” “The visiting representatives always comment on the excellent quality of the Pakistani students they meet and encourage them to apply to study in the United States.”

Bryson Keltner from Western Kentucky University was delighted to be a part of the Spring 2019 Tour. He said, “I was so impressed with the organization of the tour, the hospitality, and the sense of camaraderie among the staff and reps. We met with so many amazing students and made really great connections.”
