Afghan students protest scholarship suspension at SAU over unpaid fees.

University authorities cited non-payment of tuition fees as the reason for halting the scholarships. The decision was made after repeated reminders to the sponsoring agency went unanswered, leaving the institution to cover the costs.

Afghan students currently enrolled at SAU have been informed of the suspension and are required to arrange alternative funding to continue their studies. The university has advised them to seek support from other sources or risk losing their enrollment.

The scholarship program was established to provide educational opportunities for Afghan nationals at SAU, which is headquartered in New Delhi. The suspension has raised concerns among the affected students about their academic future.
