During my public speaking sessions or most of the times having conversations with my fellow Afghans, the topic switches to opportunities for Afghans, after doing my extensive research and efforts a shocking news hit me, majority of the scholarships are either sold for huge amounts by some officials or in some cases the potential candidates aren't even aware and scholarships go in vein such as no Afghan applies and none gets selected, while there are some scholarship or jobs donors who are pretty much organized in their efforts to select the potential candidates, therefore, in this blog I would like to share major opportunities for Afghan Researchers, government members, employees and most importantly the students.

Majority of all these scholarships are for undergraduates, graduates and employees with relative experience, the best way is to search and explore the scholarship opportunities depending on the individuals needs and wants. These scholarships are for potential candidates from countries such as UK, US, Canada, European Countries, Malaysia, India and others for one of the most prestigious universities across the world.

Note: Deadlines for each scholarship opportunity is different, these are not the only scholarship opportunities, one can find many others as well both for male and female.
