I am a Postdoctoral Scientist at Johnson & Johnson, UK, but my journey began in Afghanistan, where financial hurdles made higher education feel out of reach. When I came to Pakistan, Bahria University's scholarship transformed my path and opened doors I had never imagined.

“I am wholeheartedly thankful to Bahria University for being the bridge to my dreams. The scholarship from Bahria University was not just financial aid; it was a vote of confidence. It gave me the freedom to dream big and the resources to chase those dreams worldwide.”

The Bahria University scholarship was my strongest support throughout my academic journey. It allowed me to focus solely on my education and growth without the constant weight of financial worries. With the guidance of my inspiring teachers and mentors at BU, I excelled in my studies and embraced leadership roles with AIESEC, Jazz, and Shaukat Khanum.
