About Us
Founded in February 2024, Afghan Scholars Academy provides free mentorship and educational programs to support Afghan students, especially girls, who are facing serious challenges in accessing education. Our goal is to give every Afghan student the opportunity to learn, grow, and pursue higher education abroad by removing barriers and creating equal access to learning.
Mission
Our mission is to make education accessible for all Afghan students, especially girls and others whose learning has been blocked by the Taliban’s restrictions. We stand with those whose dreams were interrupted by violence or injustice, and we work to help them begin again. Through free programs, mentorship, and a strong learning community, we help students build the confidence, skills, and opportunities they need to succeed in global education and beyond.
Vision
Our vision is to create a learning space for youth, especially those affected by school closures and bans, where they can access quality education and reach their full potential. Our primary aim is to support a new generation of thoughtful, compassionate, and skilled young people who can lead their communities and contribute to peace and progress in Afghanistan and around the world.
Our Founder
Feda Mohammadi is the Founder and President of Afghan Scholars Academy and a first-generation student at Berea College in Kentucky, USA, where he studies Economics and Computer Science. He was born and raised in a rural village in Jaghori, Ghazni, Afghanistan, and comes from a modest family background.
At a young age, after finishing high school, Feda began teaching English at local language centers and continued his social work in different organizations and institutions across Afghanistan. His early work focused on supporting students from low-income families and those affected by war to help them prepare for English exams and apply for international scholarships. In response to the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education, Feda founded ASA in early 2024. Since then, ASA has supported over 3,000 Afghan students, most of them girls, by offering free online classes, mentorship, and college application guidance, which has resulted in over 400 students securing international scholarships.
In recognition of his work, Feda has received several awards, including Ambassador for Peace (2020), the Youth Leader Award (2021), and a fully funded scholarship to Berea College. In 2024, he was honored with the prestigious Diana Award, the highest recognition for young people making positive social change. This award, established in memory of Princess Diana and supported by The Prince of Wales and Prince Harry, celebrates Feda’s dedication to empowering Afghan youth and creating equal access to education.
