SCHOLARSHIPS & PROGRAMS

Our vision is to create a future where Somali students have equal access to world-class education, contributing to Somalia’s social and economic development. Through academic excellence and global collaboration, we aim to build a prosperous society led by well-educated professionals.

1. Merit-Based Scholarships

These scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance. Selection is based on GPA, academic awards, leadership roles, and participation in intellectually enriching activities. They are designed to recognize and reward excellence in education.

2. Need-Based Scholarships

Aimed at students who face financial challenges, these scholarships prioritize applicants from low-income households. Eligibility is determined through careful review of financial documents, such as income statements and proof of household income. These scholarships help ensure that financial limitations do not hinder academic potential.

3. Specialized Scholarships

These are targeted at students pursuing studies in specific academic or professional fields (e.g., STEM, arts, education, and healthcare). They are intended to encourage and support students who are committed to careers in areas deemed critical or underrepresented.

4. Family Scholarships

Designed to support families with multiple members enrolled in educational programs, these scholarships provide assistance to siblings or family groups pursuing academic goals simultaneously. They help ease the financial burden on families striving to educate more than one member.
