In the 5th week of fellowship, circles were arranged for the whole class and program manager told us the instructions for the mega project and also given us examples of great projects from previous batches. Our keen to do social work increases because all of group members decided to do some social work.There were great ideas from all the group members and we discussed all the ideas with program manager. So it was decided that we will arrange a seminar on the awareness of scholarships for master and p.h.d students and will call the best speakers for this seminar.

According to a great scholar ‘The more we study the more we discover our ignorance’.

We decided for this awareness because many of the students are not familiar with these scholarships which they can achieve easily. Specially in Pakistan, students have complain that they do’t have opportunities but actually they did’t know the chances they miss. There is a huge lists of H.E.C scholarships and the foreign scholarships for master and p.h.d students in which they can apply and can get selected. We should remain in search of foreign scholarships because research is very important in career and unfortunately there is no research in Pakistan.

We do’t underestimate the importance of international education. Our nation hero’s e.g. Allama Muhammad Iqbal & Quaid-e-Azam also studied abroad. The word International Education consist of two words first is Inter-national which means across the boundary of nation and second is education which means seeking knowledge through study in any field. By combining these two words we can define it as studying abroad in the sake of seeking more diverse knowledge for exploring the existing potential.

Today, public as well as private institutions provide opportunities to students to get benefit from the International education. Australia, USA, South Africa, UK, New Zealand, Russia, China, Germany, Japan are the various countries which is regarded as international education hub having an evidence in increasing the number of enrolling international students. Scholarship not only financially assists the students but act as bliss for them by giving them a chance to prove them and to fulfill their dreams too. As the knowledge never ends itself therefore the significance of international education is ever ending and increasing day per day.

After announcement of circles we have many discussions in session and on whatsapp group and then took this decision of organizing seminar. After the 3rd September session, we have a great meeting in which all the members gave their opinions on how to organize the seminar. There were quite different ideas. After 1 hour discussion, we decided the venue for seminar. Our circle leader Muhammad Awais told us that we will organize this seminar in University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore (Faisalabad Campus). We will call great speakers for the students.

Every body in the circle is trying his best to organize this seminar properly. All the members will motivate the students in their universities to purchase the ticket for seminar and attend this seminar. Inshallah I hope that we will become successful in organizng a great seminar.
