Our students are achieving high TOEFL scores, earning top marks in their credit-bearing classes, and receiving admission offers, often with scholarships attached, to universities around the world. This is an amazing achievement, especially considering that the United States closed its doors to Afghan students in June, 2025.

But challenges remain. Scholarships often don't cover room and board, books, computer, travel, visa, and other costs essential to attending university outside Afghanistan. AFSO has no funds for university scholarships, but by building a dedicated account for students who have only a small funding gap to close, we may be able to make the difference between an education and life under gender apartheid. Here's our student Shabnam, talking about how support mattered to her:

Funds will be awarded according to need and by application to our committee on university opportunities. We cannot accept funds for individual students. Funding is considered unrestricted unless specified otherwise.

Thank you for changing lives with your gift!
