Abror's admission
Abror Akhrorov is one of the first public school students from Uzbekistan to be awarded Lester B. Pearson Scholarship. Thanks to his excellent academic experience, strong research background and community involvement, he was selected to be named a Lester B. Pearson Scholar. We are excited about Abror’s upcoming academically fulfilling journey at world’s top research university, the University of Toronto, Number 1 in Canada.
We were proud to have Abror in our mentorship program. Upon receiving scholarship letter, Abror said: "I was shocked when I opened an email with subject Your Pearson Scholarship Application. I couldn’t believe my eyes. My parents didn’t believe me when I said that I got full scholarship from UofToronto. Although the whole admission journey was like a emotional roller coaster, Globstudy’s mentorship, especially Jafarbek, helped me navigate through everything. We made it! I am extremely honored to represent Uzbekistan among Lester Pearson scholars”.
