The Fully Funded USEFP Scholarship in USA is open for Pakistan citizens to pursue bachelor's degrees. In 2010, the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) introduced the Global Undergraduate Exchange Program - Pakistan (Global UGRAD-Pakistan). This initiative is managed by the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) in Pakistan and by the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) in the United States.

In a relatively short period, the program has become highly popular among Pakistani university students. The inaugural batch of 100 fellows from the 2010-11 Global UGRAD-Pakistan program returned to Pakistan to continue their undergraduate studies at local universities.
