You can only apply for a scholarship for one training workshop. - The cost of each training workshop for qualified Iranian people is 10 dollars, and according to the conditions of sanctions against Iran, the board of directors of ASIS&T has been requested to remove this cost for Iranians. It is necessary to explain that you can only participate in one training workshop in this way. (Of course, knowledge of English is necessary to participate in the educational workshop and actively participate in the educational workshop). I request the dear ones who are eligible to apply for the exchange through the website, to request a tuition waiver due to Iran's sanctions.
