His words on his selection: 

"My name is Ateeq Muhammad, and I am from Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I  completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where I consistently excelled in my studies and was among the top students in my class. Throughout my academic journey, mathematics has always been my priority, and I have been passionate about exploring its various aspects. 

When I was in my third year, I sought guidance from one of my teachers about further studies in mathematics, and he recommended that I reach out to my university's seniors, who were members of the Maths Volunteers Group. I contacted one of my seniors (a member of Maths Volunteers) and learned about various national and international mathematics programs. After gaining enough information, I realized that the IMM-LUMS program was the perfect fit for me to pursue a career in mathematics.

I am thrilled to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Maths Volunteers Group for their invaluable support and guidance, which played a significant role in my selection for the prestigious LUMS-IMM program. Their selfless dedication to helping students like me excel in mathematics is commendable. Through their mentorship, I was able to develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and enhance my problem-solving skills. The Maths Volunteers Group's encouragement and belief in my potential meant the world to me, and I am forever grateful for their contribution to my academic journey."

Her words on her selection: 

"My name is Kakshan Mehreen. I have done MS mathematics from COMSAT University Islamabad, Attock campus. After the completion of my master's degree, I applied for foreign scholarships and I got so many rejections. I did not give up and kept struggling. Finally, I was shortlisted for a funded position at Institute for Medical Epidemiology, Biometry, and Informatics at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. My research background was in pure mathematics so they gave me a task on the modelling and simulation of agent-based models of epidemics in Python from a recently published paper to test my ability to work in different directions. This work was challenging for me as I didn't know how and from where to start. Luckily, I have been attending online sessions organized by Maths Volunteers so I contacted Sir Wajid Ali and requested for guidance. He is a man who selflessly guided me for almost 3 weeks. Finally, due to his guidance, I got the position. I am very grateful for that. He acted as a bridge to get me to the destination.  I would also wish to join the Maths Volunteers and support students just like I was supported by  the Maths Volunteers team"
