Pakistan, April 8 -- The United States has announced the end of the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD) for students from Pakistan. This program ran for 15 years and allowed over 2,500 Pakistani students to study in the US. Unfortunately, the State Department directed the US Educational Foundation (USEF) Pakistan to terminate it.

USEF released a statement expressing their disappointment. They acknowledged that many students had applied this year and were looking forward to the opportunity. The program had provided valuable experiences that fostered academic growth and cultural exchange, benefiting countless students.

This decision surprises many hopeful students seeking international exposure and learning opportunities....
