SEE PART III, LINE 1.

SOLA KABUL PROGRAM:SOLA IS AFGHANISTAN'S FIRST AND ONLY GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL. ITS KABUL-BASED PROGRAM ENROLLS 63 STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-8, AND ALSO PROVIDES A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR 7 HIGH SCHOOL-AGED STUDENTS WHO ATTEND LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE THREE CENTRAL COMPONENTS OF SOLA'S CURRICULUM ARE THE ACADEMIC, CAMPUS LIFE AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS. NOT ONLY DOES SOLA'S PROGRAM NARROW THE SIGNIFICANT GAP IN EDUCATIONAL QUALITY BETWEEN KABUL SCHOOLS AND PROVINCIAL SCHOOLS, IT ALSO INCREASES A GIRL'S CHANCES OF SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING HER SCHOOLING THROUGH SECONDARY SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. A GIRL WHO REMAINS IN SCHOOL DURING ADOLESCENCE IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO MARRY AND HAVE CHILDREN AT A LATER AGE.

SOLA SCHOLAR ABROAD PROGRAM:SINCE 2008, THE SOLA SCHOLAR ABROAD PROGRAM HAS PLACED AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED QUALIFIED AFGHAN STUDENTS IN ENGLISH SPEAKING SECONDARY AND TERTIARY SCHOOLS IN AFGHANISTAN AND ABROAD. SOLA HELPS STUDENTS WITH ACCULTURATION, COLLEGE COUNSELING, AND CAREER GUIDANCE. SOLA ALSO HELPS STUDENTS WITH TRAVEL COSTS TO AND FROM AFGHANISTAN, SUMMER ACADEMIC AND LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS, HEALTH CARE COSTS, BOOKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, INTERNSHIPS, AND VOLUNTEER ACTIVITIES. IN TOTAL, MORE THAN 50 SOLA SCHOLARS AND ALUMNI HAVE RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS VALUED AT OVER $10 MILLION USD.
