and to preserve the cultural and religious identities of Muslim
Communities in Non-member Countries through developing their human
capital resources. The Programme provides scholarship to
the academically meritorious but financially needy young Muslim students
to pursue undergraduate or first-degree study in professional

socio-economic conditions of their communities. Under this Programme,
the scholarships are given as interest-free loan to the students but
