Volunteer Scholarship Manager (Remote, 6 hrs/week)

Help Afghan Girls Access Higher Education Outside Afghanistan

Victory Afghanistan is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers free, high-quality online education to over 800 Afghan girls and young women who have been banned from schools and universities since 2021.

We’re now seeking a volunteer Scholarship Manager to lead the development of our Offline Scholarship Programme, a brand new initiative focused on securing international scholarships for eligible students who want to leave Afghanistan to pursue their bachelor’s or master’s degree abroad.

About the Role

This is a remote volunteer position for someone who can offer 6 hours per week between July and November 2025 (Semester 5). You’ll be setting up the entire offline scholarship system from scratch – building strategy, guiding a team, and developing partnerships with universities and scholarship providers. You will lead a small international team, including 5–6 Afghan project coordinators, and work closely with our Education Team.

We’ve already had one successful scholarship student gain admission to a university in Bangladesh. Now we want to build a dedicated system to help more girls follow that path.

Your Responsibilities Will Include:

• Designing and leading our new offline scholarship programme
• Researching international scholarships, including in Sanctuary Cities
• Contacting universities and scholarship providers directly
• Mapping eligibility criteria to our student records
• Working with the education team to shortlist candidates
• Overseeing application support (e.g. personal statements, paperwork)
• Liaising with our project team working to send 9 girls to Scotland in 2026

Who We’re Looking For:

• Background in university admissions, academic advising, international education, or NGO/humanitarian work
• Ideally based in the U.S. or Europe
• Strategic thinker with strong communication skills
• Someone diplomatic, courageous, and committed to girls’ education
• Bonus if you have prior relationships in universities – but not essential

Why This Matters

You’ll be helping lead a direct challenge to gender apartheid by helping Afghan girls access higher education abroad. You’ll also receive:

• A reference or recommendation letter upon completion
• An opportunity to shape something meaningful from the ground up
• A passionate, cross-cultural team committed to change

Next Steps

If you’re interested in taking ownership of this new programme and helping our students reach their full potential, we’d love to meet you. Please get in touch and we’ll arrange a conversation.
