LAHORE – The United States has announced the closure of the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program (Global UGRAD) for Pakistani students.
The US Department of State has confirmed the end of the Global UGRAD exchange program for Pakistan. According to the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP), the program had been successfully running for the past 15 years but will no longer be offered.
