English Access Microscholarship Program Kasur, Pakistan 3.13

The English Access Microscholarship Program provides a foundation of English language skills to bright, economically disadvantaged 13-20 year-olds through two years of After School Instruction and Intensive Sessions. Access students also gain an appreciation for U.S. culture and democratic values through enhancement activities. A greater sensitivity to cultural differences, coupled with the acquired English language skills, will enable the participants to take advantage of opportunities that had previously been unavailable to them.Since its inception in 2004, over 95,000 students in more than 87 countries have participated in the Access Program.Since the program began in Pakistan in 2005, over 8,000 scholarships have been awarded in the following 21 locations: Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Gawadar, Pishin, Jacobabad, Hyderabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Muzaffargarh, Lodran, D.G. Khan, Rawalpindi, Kohat, Malakand, Dera Ismail Khan, Muzaffarabad, Skardu, and Khaplu. And now in Kasur.
