Brief Description:

Muslim communities are growing in the United States as a result of the leadership of our Imams and religious leaders, male and female. This scholarship recognizes the contributions of these individuals and their families to our communities' growth. By supporting the children of our religious leaders, we are strengthening the core of our community and establishing important relationships between religious and educational institutions in the United States that will create connections for generations to come. The Imam's Generational Scholarship will be awarded to children of Imams, religious leaders, and chaplains who have a standing appointment with a U.S. based mosque to reduce the high cost of higher education.
