Many educational institutions have taken a stand about the Afghan crisis, including fundraising initiatives and other support services for those affected by the crisis. AAU, for its part, extended its support to Afghan refugees through these scholarships.
Key Takeaways:
- AAU opens two full scholarship opportunities for Afghan refugees, tuition fees and other expenses included.
- The scholarship opportunity at AAU is applicable for an entire degree program at the university.

AAU President Jaroslav Miller said in a radio podcast, Cesky Rozhlas Plus, that the university tried to open new opportunities and a safe environment to help the refugees cope with the unprecedented situation they found themselves in.
Miller explained that such a generous offer is a humanitarian gesture and a chance for the institution to materialize the values that it believes in – one of which is being responsible toward other communities.
AAU has strengthened its commitment to instilling responsibility toward local communities and the socially and culturally diverse international environment.
In fact, the university has the highest share of international students in the Czech Republic, welcoming students of more than 80 nationalities from all over the world.
Currently, specific application details and scholarship requirements are still in discussion, but AAU has assured that it will simplify the paperwork related to studying in the Czech Republic.
