About this scholarship
The University of Tulsa announced it would offer two scholarships to Afghans seeking refuge in the United States after their government fell to the Taliban, with TU's president stating the university was "opening our doors to provide a safe place to learn and grow" at a time when these students needed it most. The initiative was intended to expand TU's global connections, promote free inquiry, and advance humanitarian efforts by assisting Afghan students during this historic and difficult period.
