Talent Hunt Program (THP) is an initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to encourage and prepare talented female students from low-income families for higher education in Pakistan. THP identifies bright female students with exceptional Matriculation and FA/FSc results and provides them with entry test preparation workshops for admission to medical, engineering, and general universities in Pakistan.
THP is a merit-based program that is open to all female students from low-income families in Pakistan. To be eligible for the program, students must have scored at least 80% in their Matriculation or FA/FSc exams. THP also prioritizes students from rural areas and from families with a history of low educational attainment.
Once selected for the program, students will participate in a series of entry test preparation workshops. The workshops will cover a variety of topics, including English, mathematics, science, and critical thinking. Students will also receive mentoring and support from THP staff. Also check NADRA Aghaaz Summer Internship Program 2023.
THP is a valuable opportunity for female students from low-income families to pursue their dreams of higher education. The program provides students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their entry exams and to gain admission to top universities in Pakistan. THP also provides students with the support they need to overcome financial and other challenges.
