New York University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers the Falak Sufi Scholarship for Pakistani Students. The Falak Sufi Scholarship is to support students from countries with a majority Islamic population in Soth Asia who might not otherwise be able to obtain a graduate education. Selected students, preferably female, will be enrolled in the two-year master's program in Near Eastern Studies.
Falak Sufi Introduction: Falak Sufi was born in Pakistan in 1983. She possessed a generous heart, the urge to engage with and change the world, and a brilliantly original, vivacious mind. She graduated from the National University of Singapore with first-class honors in Political Science. While young, she began to publish work that showed her great gifts and talent. Among her interests were women and gender in South Asia, the historiography of this region, and the strength of the humanities. However, no list can capture the range of subjects about which she thought, spoke, and wrote. She was a much beloved, deeply admired graduate student in Near Eastern Studies at the Kevorkian Center of New York University when she died tragically in New York in 2008.
