What makes AFSO different from other remote learning programs available to Afghan women?

Accepted Answer

First, our seminars are synchronous, meaning that you meet with the professor and the rest of the class in a real-time setting where you can ask questions and have discussions. Second, our seminars are small and flexible. Finally, all our seminars are led by esteemed university professors, who are volunteering their time so this opportunity can remain free of charge for all qualified Afghan students.
