Does anybody know, how many fulbright scolarships are being offered for 2009 program? I can find out such notifications for previous years, where sometime the US ambassadar would announce the number of scholarships for the year, but havent really been able to find out for this year. Any one with a deeper insight?

   the exact number is usually not known till the end (as few people end up not availing the opportunity, some has visa problems etc) but usually the number is 125+

2. Muhammad Younas on June 25th, 2008 at 12:41 am :
   

   in 2008 it was more than 200, in 2007 it was around 150 and in 2006 it was around 125.

   Thankyou Younas for the prompt reply. Actually i just wanted to clearify a rumour around, that the fixed quota for Pskistan students might no loonger be there. If this is true it would mean pk stds competing with international students and probably a significant drop in no of scholarhsips. Do you have an insight?

   So far nothing like this has been confirmed/announced by HEC or USEFP so i don’t think that the quote will be dramatically reduced. i still expect 125+ scholarships to be awarded to pakistani students.

   best of luck with your application.

    900 ppl applied for 2009 fullbright…200 have been shortlisted for interview and final selection would depend on the amount of funds.(Interviews in september)

11. Ali Ahsan on September 18th, 2008 at 2:30 am :
    

    Are these some sort of official facts published and i did not hear anyone getting a call atleast till August. Does this mean that all calls would be made in september?

12. Anwar on September 20th, 2008 at 2:07 am :
    

    People who have gone for an interview in September have been given a printout which states that 900 individuals had applied for 2009 fullbright and only 200 have been shortlisted for the interview. The interviews will be finished by end September and incase someone does not receives a call in September, then they have not been shortlisted.

    The final selectees will be notified by end Oct/ early Nov.
