Muhammad Abdullah — Founder & Editor, Parwaz
Muhammad Abdullah is the founder and editor of Parwaz, a free scholarships, PhD positions and jobs hub run from Astana, Kazakhstan.
Background
He is a PhD candidate in Chemical Engineering at Nazarbayev University, working on advanced materials research. Parwaz grew out of his own experience hunting for scholarships and research positions: reliable opportunities were scattered across dozens of university pages, and too many listing sites republished them with wrong deadlines or exaggerated funding claims.
What he does on Parwaz
- Sources scholarships, PhD positions, fellowships, internships and jobs from official university, government and employer pages wherever possible.
- Verifies deadlines and funding against the official source before a listing goes live, and re-checks listings on a daily cycle.
- Labels funding precisely: "Fully Funded" appears only where tuition and living costs are both covered — see How We Verify for the full methodology.
- Writes the site's guides and per-listing analyses, and corrects or removes listings when readers report an error.
Editorial independence
Parwaz is not affiliated with any university, government, scholarship body or employer, and no listing is ever paid placement. Funding for the site comes from the founder personally; the site currently carries no affiliate links and no advertising.
