What is IDB Scholarship Programme?
The IDB Scholarship Programme is an initiative led by the Islamic Development Bank which started 1983 in various countries to foster technology and knowledge sharing among its communities. They idea is to attract talented students in order to build the right competencies required to empower communities. Our hope is to develop students as Good Citizens & Competent Professionals (GCCPs).
The IDB Scholarship Programme is more than just a scholarship programme in the traditional sense of a straight financial assistance to outstanding and qualified students. It is also a tool for the improvement of socio-economic conditions. It is a scholarship and a development programme at the same time as the scholarship is given as an interest-free-loan (Qard Hasan) to the students, but also as a grant to their communities /countries to which they belong and will contribute to.
Students are required to fulfil IDB obligations whilst studying and upon graduation as they are also requested to take part in the development of their communities and countries through their respective professions. The reason we offer loans only is so that repaid funds can be used to provide scholarships to other students in order to complement the Scholarship Programme and to ensure its continuity in the long run, while the services rendered by the students and graduates will contribute to the overall development of the community.
