Women’s Scholarship Endowment (WSE)

About the Project

The Women’s Scholarship Endowment (WSE) Activity, a research project, aims to assist Afghan women to obtain a university or graduate education in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM), or other field of study. The following are the three main objectives for WSE:

1. 1. Develop and implement a scholarship program (the WSE Program) for Afghan women to pursue degrees and postgraduate degrees at a local or regional university of their choice;
   2. Strengthen the organizational capacity of local partner universities to improve women’s access to tertiary education; and
   3. Provide WSE beneficiaries with career development and leadership training to prepare them for the workforce.
