Scholarships & Bridging Assistance

Scholarships & Bridging Assistance for Muslim Students
The International Islamic Foundation for Education and Culture provides nationwide financial grants for Muslim students enrolled in undergraduate, master's, or doctoral programs. The aim of this funding is to offer a reliable foundation to needy eligible students without other prospects of support, enabling them to fully concentrate on their studies or training. The grants include traditional scholarships as well as support for education and further training, along with bridging assistance to overcome temporary financial and time constraints and to facilitate the best possible academic achievements.

Requirements and Procedure
Funding is provided to Muslim students with relevant enrollment at a German university and demonstrated financial need, provided there is no entitlement to other funding. Applications can be submitted at any time, as this is an ongoing program. Decisions are based on the urgency of need as well as the objective of providing long-term support to students. Interested parties must submit proof of enrollment and financial need, along with an overview of unavailable funding options. Through targeted financial relief, this measure contributes to increasing equal opportunities in higher education and makes a valuable contribution to a diverse and inclusive academic landscape in Germany.
