These Afghan students will be able to pay for their university educations,
obtain additional training in critical areas outside of their studies, gain
vital professional experience through on-the-job trainings, and put their newly
acquired knowledge to work.
The HSSP is being implemented by
HSF Pakistan and the National Dialogue Forum as part of the

All scholarships will be
conceptually supported by HSF Pakistan partner organisations and the HSF
Country Office. This additional help will benefit democratic education,
academic work, tolerance, dispute resolution, and social cohesion. To attain
this purpose, workshops, discussions, cultural activities, and sports
activities will all be employed. They’ll discuss, among other things, social
cohesion, human rights, equality, subsidiarity, political systems, digital
skills, rhetoric, soft skills, and academic methodological knowledge.
