To apply, you must:

  • Be a female student from Afghanistan
  • Have basic literacy in English

Application Process

  1. Complete the online application form (link provided on AESOPAfghanistan.org).
  2. Upload a photo or scan of your passport or Tazkira for verification.
  3. Attend a live online interview if shortlisted.
  4. If selected, you will be notified by email by the end of December 2025.
