# Aid
The Fulbright Scholarship, which qualifies Afghan students, professionals, and artists, provides funding up to $100,000 for a year of study, research, or teaching in the United States, and can be used as a form of emergency funding for those in need.
Who Qualifies
Afghan asylum seekers in Turkey can be classified under various visa categories, including the Humanitarian Residence Permit, Student Residence Permit, and Work Permit. Those who hold these permits may be eligible for emergency funding. Eligibility is often determined by factors such as academic achievement, financial need, and community involvement. For example, asylum seekers who are pursuing Canada scholarships or fully funded scholarships in other countries may also be eligible for emergency funding in Turkey.
