Comment by Ali on March 2, 2012 at 11:16am Hey Aebro-
Actually, the Gilman scholarship is only offered to U.S. citizens, but the U.S. Department of State does offer several scholarships to bring Pakistani students to the U.S. If you are in high school, I recommend learning more about the Pakistan YES Program in our YES group. If you are in college, check out our Community College Initiative group or our UGRAD group.
Also, remember that your home country group on ExchangesConnect is a great place to connect with other users from your country to see what international exchange programs they are doing!
Hope this helps. Let me know how your search for a scholarship goes!

Comment by Ali on February 7, 2012 at 12:08pm Hello, everyone! A few months ago, Aileen wrote a comment about the blogs being written by five Gilman Scholars in Japan, Argentina, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and Senegal. I just thought I would provide the link to the most recent blog posts about experiencing culture shock and reverse culture shock within their countries.
