Pakistanis Can Study at New York University With $37,132 Annual Scholarship

Pakistanis have the opportunity to obtain a full scholarship to study at New York University (NYU) for a Master's degree in Near Eastern Studies. The Falak Sufi Scholarship 2027-28, administered by NYU's Kevorkian Center, covers a minimum annual stipend of $37,132, tuition, health insurance, and registration fees. This support can be extended for up to two years, contingent upon the recipient's continued academic excellence.

Applications for the Fall 2027 intake close on 15 January 2027. While the scholarship is open to Pakistani students and others from South Asian countries with majority Muslim populations, NYU gives preference to female applicants. The scholarship targets individuals demonstrating intellectual prowess and academic interests aligned with its mission, particularly a commitment to women and gender studies in the Near East, Middle East, and South Asia.

The scholarship covers all financial aspects of graduate study at NYU, including tuition, health insurance, and registration and services fees. Students must maintain the academic standards of NYU’s Graduate School of Arts and Science and their specific program. The awarded scholarship is renewable for a maximum of two years if these standards are upheld.

Applicants must apply to NYU’s Graduate School of Arts and Science, submitting academic transcripts, a personal statement, a résumé or CV, letters of recommendation, and test scores when required. The application fee is non-refundable. Prospective candidates should also review the specific requirements for the Near Eastern Studies program before applying.
