Congratulations to the Class of 2029 FEDAA Scholars!

In 2025, the Foundation selected 10 outstanding Kardan University students as FEDAA Scholars. Established as a living memorial to Dr. Abdul Kayeum, the FEDAA Scholarship carries his legacy by supporting and inspiring the next generation of Afghanistan’s leaders. 

These 10 awardees now join 23 current FEDAA Scholars, becoming part of a community of 33 that the Foundation hopes will grow to include thousands of FEDAA Scholars in the years ahead. Biographies provided by the Scholars appear below.
