IDB Scholarship Programme for Muslim Communities in Non-Member Countries (SPMC)

Introduction

The Scholarship Programme for Muslim Communities in Non-Member Countries was launched in 1404H (1983G) with the objective to provide educational opportunities for the academically meritorious and financially needy young Muslim students from Muslim communities in non-member countries to pursue undergraduate or first-degree study in a university and to train them in specific fields in order to improve their socio-economic conditions, preserve their cultural and religious identities and make a meaningful contribution to the development of their communities and countries.

In the first year of implementation (Academic Year 1404H / 1983-84G), 53 students from 3 countries (India, Sri Lanka and Kenya) became the first beneficiaries of this programme.

At present, the Programme focuses on medicine, engineering, agriculture and other related fields such as dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary science, nursing, nutrition study, computer science, forestry and fishery. Only for the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) countries with their special needs has the IDB approved the inclusion of additional areas of study such as administration, management, marketing, finance, banking and accountancy.

The Scholarship is tenable at recognized government or private universities in the students' own countries. Students may also be sent to IDB member countries which places in their universities.

Concept of the Programme

The IDB Scholarship Programme is more than just a scholarship programme in the traditional sense of a straight financial assistance to the needy and qualified students. It is also a tool for the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of the Muslim communities as a whole. It is a scholarship programme and a development programme at the same time, since the scholarship is given as an interest-free-loan (qard hasana) to the students and as a grant to the Muslim communities to which they belong.

Under the Programme, the students are required to repay the loan after graduation and gainful employment, in easy installments, to a Waqf (Trust) set up by the IDB in each non-member country benefiting from the Programme. Besides, the students are also required to take part in the development of their communities, through their respective professions. The repaid fund will be used to provide scholarships for other deserving students from the same community to complement the IDB Programme and to ensure its continuity in the long run, while the community development services rendered by the students and graduates will contribute to the overall development of the community.

The Scholarship Programme is also a joint venture to be implemented by the IDB and the Muslim communities. The Counterpart Organisations are requested to announce the Programme on behalf of the IDB, to deal with the applications and the pre-selection process (which includes interview and verification of documents), to distribute stipends to the IDB students and to undertake other activities. They are also required to form the Trust with guidance from the IDB to facilitate the loan refund and to launch and manage the post-study programmes to support community services and development.

The IDB and its partners have a dream and a vision to contribute to the development of the human potential of the Muslim communities. In brief, the IDB wishes to develop the MIND (of the recipients of the IDB Scholarship Programme), the CHARACTER (of the IDB-sponsored students/scholars) and the COMMUNITY itself (which is the final target of the IDB development investment).

Through the Guidance and Counselling (G&C) activities, the IDB also wishes the young Muslim professionals to be ready to dedicate themselves to their communities and countries. This is not possible without the motivation gained by proper understanding of, and commitment to Islam in all aspects of their lives.

The IDB also expects its students to play a leading role in assisting the development of their communities. Therefore, the IDB expects them to be good Muslims and good professionals at the same time. In other words, the IDB aims to produce Committed Muslims and Competent Professionals(CMCPs).

All the above features (a loan to the individual students, a grant to the community, repaid loan as a funding base for a complementary in-country scholarship programme, local implementation by community organization in the form of a Counterpart Organization and Waqf, emphasis on in-country study and post-study community development services) are linked together in an integrated manner to constitute the basic concepts that characterize the IDB Scholarship Programme as a distinct community-oriented development programme.

Place of Study

Consistent with the concept of the Programme, most of the IDB-sponsored students are studying in their own countries. The remaining are currently studying in 12 member countries that have been generous enough to provide places for the IDB students in their universities.

In response to a request for places for some of the selected students who could not secure admission in their own countries, the Republic of Turkey was the first member country to respond positively to the IDB request. Since 1987 this positive gesture has been extended by Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

My name is Yasin Hussein, an Ethiopin muslim living in Ethiopia. I have BSc degree in dryland crop and Horticultural science under Agronomy stream. Currently I compited for masters and have won masters in food Security in Addis Ababa university ,Ethiopia. But It costs about US$ 3000 for educational and living expenses generally.But I have nothing except Allah.The muslim countries most of the time help Ethiopia on food security areas with food relief program.And most of the muslim communities in Ethiopia need food aid always .because they are pastoralists, sothat it is extremely important to change the lives of these muslim communities with all sacrifications in all aspect. Me ,as one young muslim I have to contribute for the life change of these muslim communities with educatioal outputs. So, please help me and be part of these historical struggle because you will get from Allah(S.W.).ALAH CAN GIVES ALL THINGS FOR ALL AND TAKES BACK FROM ALL.
