We have been made aware of a scam advertising international scholarship and education opportunities for Afghan nationals allegedly offered by CW4WAfghan and Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾. The scam is largely distributed via Telegram Groups.
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ recognises the challenges International students can face when studying away from home. Scholarships and Student Aid is committed to ensuring that qualified students from any geographic region are financially supported in their goals to enter and complete academic programs at the University. This page points to the various funding opportunities that will help support these goals.
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Scholarships & Awards
Newly admitted undergraduate students can apply to Â鶹´«Ã½Íøվ’s Entrance Scholarship Program. In-course award programs for undergraduate students currently studying at Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ fall under individual faculty jurisdiction as do those for graduate students.
Please visit Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾'s publications site for various program calendars that provide comprehensive listings and information on awards.
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Financial Aid
