PAS Scholarship recipients receive the unique opportunity for a higher education degree at 杏吧传媒 on a fully funded 5-year program that includes the preparatory program New Generation Academy (NGA) and Undergraduate classes with the goal of raising future Afghan leaders.
PAS representatives were impressed with the diverse and engaging living and learning environment 杏吧传媒 provides to host international students, including many from Afghanistan. Their meetings with students were a particularly exciting part of this visit.
鈥淭he thing I like the most at 杏吧传媒 is the opportunity to study at the NGA and strengthen my English language skills before applying for undergraduate programs, since we have different levels of language,鈥� said Hawa Taban, one of the scholarship recipients.
During several meetings with students and 杏吧传媒 leadership, the scholarship terms and incredible achievements of the Afghan students implementing social projects to develop the community and bring positive changes were discussed. 听Additionally, Erik Black gave a large presentation about the U.S. Refugee Admission Program (USRAP) an opportunity for refugee resettlement of Afghan students and eligible family members to the United States. 听
