DALLAS \u2014 As the Taliban swept back into power in Afghanistan<\/a>, in the summer of 2021, Fahima Sultani and her fellow university students tried for days to get into the Kabul airport, only to be turned away by gun-wielding extremists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo education, just go back home,\u201d she recalled one shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly two years later, Sultani, now 21, is safely in the U.S. and working toward her bachelor\u2019s degree in data science at Arizona State University in Tempe on a scholarship. When she\u2019s not studying, she likes to hike up nearby Tempe Butte, the kind of outing she enjoyed in her mountainous homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing students like Sultani rush to leave in August 2021 as the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan<\/a> after 20 years, colleges, universities and other groups across the U.S. started piecing together the funding for hundreds of scholarships so they could continue their educations outside of their home country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women of Sultani\u2019s generation, born around the time the U.S. ousted the Taliban after the 9\/11 attacks in 2001, grew up attending school and watching as women pursued careers. The Taliban\u2019s return upended those freedoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithin minutes of the collapse of the government in Kabul, U.S. universities said, \u2018We\u2019ll take one;\u2019 \u2018We\u2019ll take three;\u2019 \u2018We\u2019ll take a professor;\u2019 \u2018We\u2019ll take a student,\u2019\u201d said Allan Goodman, CEO of the Institute of International Education, a global not-for-profit that helps fund such scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fears leading the students to quickly board flights were soon justified as the Taliban ushered in a harsh Islamic rule<\/a>: Girls cannot attend school beyond the sixth grade and women, once again required to wear burqas, have been banned from universities<\/a> and are restricted from most employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sultani is one of more than 60 Afghan women who arrived at ASU by December 2021 after fleeing Afghanistan, where she had been studying online through Asian University for Women in Bangladesh during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese women came out of a crisis, a traumatic experience, boarded a plane not knowing where they were going, ended up in the U.S.,\u201d said Susan Edgington, executive director and head of operations of ASU\u2019s Global Academic Initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After making their way to universities and colleges across the U.S. over the last two years, many are nearing graduation and planning their futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mashal Aziz, 22, was a few months from graduating from American University of Afghanistan when Kabul fell and she boarded a plane. After leaving, she scoured the internet, researching which schools were offering scholarships and what organizations might be able to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve already left everything and you are thinking maybe there are barriers for your higher education,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aziz and three other Afghan students arrived at Northeastern University in Boston in January 2022 after first being taken to Qatar and then a military base in New Jersey. She graduated this spring with a bachelor\u2019s degree in finance and accounting management and plans to start work on her master\u2019s degree in finance this fall at Northeastern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just two days after the fall of Kabul, the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma announced it had created two scholarships for Afghans seeking refuge in the U.S. Later, the university created five more scholarships that went to some of the young Afghans who had settled in the area. Five more Afghans have received scholarships to study there this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danielle Macdonald, an associate anthropology professor at the school, has organized a regular meetup between TU students and college-aged Afghans who have settled in the Tulsa area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around two dozen young people attend the events, where they\u2019ve talked about everything from U.S. slang to how to find a job. Their outings have included visiting a museum and going to a basketball game, Macdonald said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s become a really lovely community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sultani, like many others who left Afghanistan, often thinks about those who remained behind, including her sister, who had been studying at a university, but now must stay home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can go to universities while millions of girls back in Afghanistan, they do not have this opportunity that I have,\u201d Sultani said. \u201cI can dress the way I want and millions of girls now in Afghanistan, they do not have this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the initial flurry of scholarships, efforts to assist Afghan students have continued, including the creation of the Qatar Scholarship for Afghans Project, which has helped fund 250 scholarships at dozens of U.S. colleges and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are still more young people in need of support to continue their educations in the U.S. or even reach the U.S. from Afghanistan or other countries, explained Jonah Kokodyniak, a senior vice president at the Institute of International Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yasamin Sohrabi, 26, is among those still trying to find a way to the U.S. Sohrabi, who had been studying at American University of Afghanistan, realized as the withdrawal of U.S. forces neared that she might need to go overseas to continue her studies. The day after the Taliban took Kabul, she learned of her admission to Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, but wasn\u2019t able to get into the airport to leave Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year later, she and her younger sister, who has also been accepted at the university, got visas to Pakistan. Now they are trying to find a way to get into the U.S. Their brother, who accompanied them to Pakistan, is applying to the school as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sohrabi said she and her siblings try not to focus on what they have lost, but instead on how to get to WKU, where 20 other Afghans will be studying this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things in these days we think about,\u201d she said. \u201cIt keeps us going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
