Al-Iman Zakat Bursary Program

Our Zakat Bursary Program was established to assist students in South Africa who are financially constrained and come from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.

The program is established to alleviate the financial burden of education for these students and provide them with the support they need to succeed in their academic pursuits, and where need arises, Al-Iman Foundation Zakat Bursary Program caters for learners in primary and secondary school up to grade 7.

The bursary covers a range of expenses, including registration fees, tuition fees (either in part or in full), accommodation, and meals. Bursary payments are made directly to the tertiary institution where the student is studying, making the process as stress-free as possible for the recipient.

To be eligible for the bursary, a student must meet the following criteria:

  • South African Muslim citizens or foreign nationals with a study permit
  • Have financial constraints, belong to a previously disadvantaged background.
  • Must be a well academically performing student.
  • Student must be our existing student or be part of our afternoon madressah program.

In conclusion, the Zakat Bursary Program is a valuable resource for students in South Africa who are struggling to finance their education. The program provides the support and resources needed to succeed and make a positive impact on the lives of students from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
