The University of Louisville International Center has welcomed six displaced students from Afghanistan. Three are graduate students in the College of Business and three are undergraduates whose majors have not yet been determined.
The students are funded through the Afghan Future Fund, administered by the Institute for International Education, and the Kentucky Innovative Scholarship Pilot Program, funded through the state Council on Post-Secondary Education and the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority.
“UofL is expecting 20 additional displaced students from Afghanistan this coming fall,” said Paul Hofmann, assistant vice president for the International Center.
