PSA National is a nationwide initiative bringing together Pakistani Student Associations, student leaders, alumni, professionals, and community organizations
While many universities have individual Pakistani Student Associations, there has been a need for a broader platform that brings these student groups together for collaboration, cultural celebration, professional growth, mentorship, and community impact.

Everything you need to know about PSA National and our mission to connect Pakistani students across America.
Building a unified network of Pakistani students across universities in the United States.
PSA National (Pakistan Student Association National) is a student-led organization created to connect Pakistan Student Associations and Pakistani-descendant students across colleges and universities throughout the United States.
While hundreds of universities have their own PSAs, there has never been a unified national platform that brings these organizations together. PSA National was founded to create that network and help students collaborate, support one another, and build lasting connections across campuses.
PSA National was created because Pakistani students across America often face similar challenges and opportunities, but there has historically been little coordination between campuses.
The organization seeks to unite students through:
Our mission is to empower Pakistani students and strengthen the Pakistani-American student community on a national scale.
Our vision is to build the largest and most impactful network of Pakistani students in the United States.
We hope to create a nationwide community where students can:
In the future, PSA National aims to host national conferences, leadership summits, networking events, professional panels, cultural initiatives, community service projects, and mentorship programs connecting students with successful professionals across various industries.
Members would gain access to:
Students will have opportunities to build relationships with peers, professionals, entrepreneurs, public servants, and community leaders from across America.
Campus organizations would gain:
Each PSA benefits from becoming part of a larger national community while maintaining complete control over its own organization.
The success of PSA National depends on active student involvement and collaboration.
Every campus brings unique perspectives and strengths that help make the network stronger.
No.
PSA National is not intended to replace, control, oversee, or interfere with any university’s PSA.
PSA National exists to support and connect organizations, not govern them.
Many universities have talented students, strong leadership, and great ideas, but their impact is often limited to a single campus.
By joining PSA National, students become part of something larger—a nationwide network dedicated to supporting Pakistani students and creating opportunities that no single organization could achieve alone.
PSA National was founded by Arsal Ijaz, a student at New York University, with the vision of creating a unified national network for Pakistani students and Pakistan Student Associations throughout the United States.
Prior to founding PSA National, Arsal served as Founder and President of APPAC Youth, where he worked to connect and empower young Pakistani-Americans through leadership, community engagement, and professional development initiatives.
Arsal Ijaz currently serves as the Founding President of PSA National.

Additional contact information and leadership contacts can be provided upon request.
PSA National is built on one simple principle:
Collaboration, not control.
We are not creating a governing body for campus PSAs. We are building a network that allows students to support one another, learn from one another, and grow together.
Our goal is simple: unite Pakistani students across America and create a stronger future together.
Empowering the Pakistani student community and future global leaders.
Advocating for their communities and inspiring future generations.
