Dr. Nasrullah Shah, Associate Professor of
Chemistry, has been selected as a Principal Candidate for a Fulbright Scholar
Award for 2019-2020, for one year fellowship in the United States. Fulbright
Fellowship is the flagship and one of the most prestigious scholarship programs
in Pakistan as well as on international level. The selection is made by The
United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) and J. William
Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB) U.S.
It is worth mentioning that Dr. Shah competed
with hundreds of faculty members from all over Pakistan, and in fact, the very
first Fulbright selectee from AWKUM since its establishment. Dr. Shah’s
selection under this program is indeed an honor for our university, since a
very small ratio of faculty members are selected under this program. Hence,
besides establishing good name and reputation of AWKUM, it will certainly bring
new skills to our research by establishing collaboration between our university
and one of the universities in the U.S.
