Tuition & Scholarships

AUAF welcomes new and existing partners who are interested in funding student scholarships!
The American University of Afghanistan is a private not‐for‐profit institution. The U.S. Government and other outside donors contribute to the cost of AUAF’s operations.
 

Tuition & Fees

At this time, all undergraduate students who apply to study at AUAF are automatically considered for scholarships that may partially or fully pay for tuition, based on their application materials. Scholarships are never guaranteed and are subject to both AUAF discretion and the availability of funds.

*AUAF Finance will use starting Pre-fall 2026 semester onwards (August 1, 2026, onwards) the standard AFN/$USD exchange rate of USD 1 = AFN 65.8069. In Pre-Fall 2023 AUAF entered donor tuition agreements that are expressed in USD. The standard conversion protects donors from exchange rate charges.
