Our Impact

Over the twenty-plus years since, you contributed funds through Friends of Forman for scholarships, leadership, programming, and many necessary campus improvements. New facilities include the Cheryl Burke Hope Tower for Women, Jim Tebbe Campus Center, Light of Hope Elementary School, Mercy Health Center, and new housing for faculty. Also, you made full renovations possible for six men’s hostels, existing staff housing, and the women’s hostel located on the TSA campus.

You have certainly improved the facilities available to students and staff, building a campus unlike any other in Pakistan. We thank you!

Bridging The Gap for a Brighter Future

Forman Christian College is among Pakistan’s oldest and most prestigious higher education institutions. Coed since 1902, FCCU offers the first Western-style liberal arts curriculum in this majority-Muslim nation.

An education from Forman opens opportunities for a better future. This uniquely diverse campus allows Muslim, Christians, and other minority population students to study together and create relationships in an interfaith environment of harmony and hope.

At Forman, every voice matters, and every voice is heard—modeling an extremely hopeful future the world desperately needs.

Why Friends of Forman Exists

Friends of Forman was incorporated in 2003 when Forman returned to the Presbyterian Church upon denationalization. After thirty years of government control, the campus was in poor condition, and improvements were needed everywhere. At the time of return, there was no vehicle in the US to raise funds to make the necessary repairs, or find much-needed scholarships for students. Friends of Forman Christian College was created to do this.

You have certainly improved the facilities available to students and staff, building a campus unlike any other in Pakistan. We thank you!
