$2.2M grant to UNO will benefit Afghanistan universities
OMAHA, Neb. – The University of Nebraska at Omaha has received a $2.2 million federal grant to help establish courses of study at two universities in Afghanistan.
University officials tell the Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/28V1xSw ) that the effort will build upon UNO’s long relationship with Afghanistan.
The grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development will allow UNO’s Center for Afghanistan Studies and School of Communication to help establish bachelor’s degree programs in communications studies at Kabul University and Balkh University.
The two-year project is similar to a $1.3 million grant program that allowed the longtime partners to develop student-faculty exchange programs for the journalism school at Kabul University. That was awarded in 2010.
