BACKGROUND
Muslim communities in many developing countries that are not members
of IsDB generally lag behind in education, especially in technical education
and professional specialization. This is an obstacle that must be overcome
if the communities are to improve their socioeconomic conditions, preserve
their cultural and religious identities and make meaningful contributions to
the development of their countries.
To respond to their development needs, IsDB established the Scholarship
Program for Muslim Communities (SPMC) which was launched in 1983 with
53 students from India, Sri Lanka and Kenya.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
The program is intended to be for academically meritorious but financially needy Muslim students with a strong desire to engage in social services and community development. They must also be able to
meet the following eligibility criteria:
In need of financial assistance without which study may have to stop
Maximum age of 24 years.
Not an IsDB staff member or Executive Director, his/her alternate, and/or staff of any type of appointment (including temporary and consultant) of the IsDB Group nor a close relative by blood or adoption, with the term “close relative” defined as mother, father, sister, half-sister, brother, half-brother, son,
daughter, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew.
Completed senior secondary education (or the equivalent of approximately 12 years of education) with good grades in major science subjects.
Provided evidence of language proficiency in the university medium of instruction as relevant. The language proficiency must be supported by a document or certificate, e.g., for English, by a recognized language certificate such as TOEFL or IELTS or by having passed the required level test conducted such as by the British Council or equivalent system in French or other languages.
Provided certified English or French translation of all documents in case they are initially in other languages.
Be medically fit and willing to undergo medical examination after selection.
Having secured admission in one of the disciplines covered under the program at a recognized college or university in their own country is desirable.
Not living in a country other than his/her home country.
Not a beneficiary.
NOTES:
The IsDB scholarship may only supplement, and shall not duplicate, any other source of financial support the applicant might have. If the applicant is awarded a scholarship, he/she must inform IsDB at that time if he/she has other sources of scholarship funding.
Sending the application or getting admission by the academic institution does not mean that the applicant has been accepted for a scholarship. Accordingly, the applicant should not take any action concerning his/ her current employment or otherwise until notified by IsDB of having been awarded a
scholarship.
