Haider Sultan’s Admission to Yale University Enhances Pakistan’s Global Academic Standing.

Lahore: In a groundbreaking achievement for Pakistan, Haider Sultan, a student at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), has secured a coveted spot as Pakistan’s First Silver Scholar at the prestigious Ivy League institution, Yale University, for the MBA program. Haider’s accomplishment is further highlighted by the prestigious Dean’s Scholarship, making him one of only ten Silver Scholars worldwide selected by Yale University.

Silver Scholars, including Haider Sultan, are recognized as the “Next Best Business Leaders” on a global scale. These exceptional individuals, typically college seniors, possess a career trajectory that places them years ahead of their peers. Unlike most MBA candidates who join after gaining extensive work experience, Silver Scholars embark on their MBA journey straight out of undergraduate studies, showcasing their exceptional potential and drive for success.

At LUMS, Haider distinguished himself by leading the Entrepreneurial Society and organizing South Asia’s largest youth entrepreneurial summit, the Young Leaders’ & Entrepreneurs’ Summit. Additionally, he served as the elected Batch Representative, representing 1,200 students in the LUMS Student Government, and played a crucial role as a jury member on the university’s disciplinary committee. Notably, Haider also founded and served as the Managing Director of LUMS Candid Leaders.

Haider’s remarkable achievement is not only a testament to his individual brilliance but also reflects the potential of Pakistan’s youth on the global stage. As the son of former Director of DGPR, Mr. Nazir Khalid, Haider carries forward a legacy of excellence and leadership.
