Islamic Society of North America

Islamic Society of North America supports Muslim students in the United States through scholarship programs tied to undergraduate education, academic achievement, service, and financial need. Its scholarship activity reaches both students beginning college and those already enrolled, with eligibility centered on Muslim applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents attending accredited U.S. colleges and universities. The organization’s education support includes named programs such as the Amana Mutual Funds Scholarship and the Dr. Abdulmunim A. Shakir Scholarship, showing a structured approach to student aid rather than a single one-time award. Its scholarship portfolio serves distinct academic and student populations. The Amana Mutual Funds Scholarship opens on 4/29/2026 and closes on 6/26/2026, offering up to $2,500 to Muslim students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in economics, finance, or mathematics. That program requires a 3.5 GPA or higher and weighs academic achievement, volunteer service, and financial need. The Dr. Abdulmunim A. Shakir Scholarship extends support to Muslim high school seniors entering their first year of college in any field, with a 3.0 GPA minimum and selection based on academic achievement, leadership experience, and volunteer service. Taken together, these programs show Islamic Society of North America investing in undergraduate access and persistence for Muslim students across the U.S. Its work emphasizes merit, need, and community contribution, while also directing support to both broad college entry and specialized study in quantitative fields. The organization’s scholarship activity serves high school seniors, current undergraduates, and students affiliated with the Muslim faith, reinforcing education as a central avenue of support.
