Zeenab Saleh Kassam Scholarship

Are you an Afghan female student interested in pursuing an undergraduate Major in Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Central Asia and need financial support? Find out about the Zeenab Saleh Kassam Scholarship today:

Zeenab Kassam was a Canadian nurse volunteering in Kabul, Afghanistan teaching English to Afghan medical professionals. On March 20th, 2014, three days before her 18-month volunteer commitment was to conclude, she was killed. By teaching both young women and men, she furthered their professional development. Learning a new language is not only about acquiring skills for better economic opportunities, it furthers human interaction and understanding. Zeenab was facilitating diverse individuals to be able to talk to each other and understand one another. This scholarship is a continued commitment by her family to the education of young people so that they can better themselves and effec¬tively contribute to Central Asia.
