IDB Scholarship for Muslim Communities in Non-Member Countries 

The IDB Scholarship for Muslim Communities in Non-Member Countries calls for scholarship applications for the 2024 academic session. The scholarship can be taken in any country in the world.

About Scholarship

The objective of the Programme is to improve the socio-economic conditions and to preserve the cultural and religious identities of Muslim Communities in Non-member Countries by developing their human capital resources.

The Programme provides a scholarship to academically meritorious but financially needy young Muslim students to pursue undergraduate or first-degree study in professional courses.

The concept of the Programme is to build a team of professional and committed Muslims as a tool for the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of their communities. Under this Programme, the scholarships are given an interest-free loan to the students but grant to the communities to which they belong. After graduation and gainful employment, all graduates are obliged to repay their loan amount to the community (IDB Local Trusts) for recycling and awarding additional scholarships to the local needy students.
