Supporting a scholar is subject to approval of the application process submitted under Scholar Fund. It should be noted that the application process can be completed by any individual so long as the recipient of the funding is aware of the application made on their behalf.

Details of application processes cannot be revealed per The Data Protection Act 2018. However, it is important to note that applications undertake a thorough ratification and eligibility check to ensure your donation is being utilised to its maximum capability. Therefore, you can help by donating to the cause of your choice which will directly help those scholars and recipients who require it most.

This is the reason behind the formation of Supporting Sunni Scholars - to help those scholars whose efforts would be better utilised in the dissemination of Islamic knowledge.
