Scholarships for Aspiring Students Whatever the Field
Global Scholarship Fund (College Students): HDF supports underserved college students pursuing degrees in Islamic Sharia, Islamic Education, Business Management, Information Technology, and other fields. Beyond tuition, accommodations, and meals, we also provide individualized support – addressing each scholar’s unique needs to ensure they can focus on their studies and succeed.
Global Scholarship Fund (High School Students): As students progress through their education, they need continued support to transition successfully into adulthood. HDF provides high school tuition, supplies, and mentorship to help them gain independence and prepare for higher education or careers.
A Commitment to Our Deen: Education is a trust (amanah). HDF’s scholarship work reflects our Islamic responsibility to seek knowledge, uplift the vulnerable, and create lasting impact for the ummah.

Global Scholars in the Islamic University of Kenya
HDF’s scholars come from diverse African countries, including Tanzania, Burundi, Congo, Madagascar, Somalia, and Rwanda. They gather in Kenya to pursue higher education, fostering personal growth and contributing to the development of their home countries. This effort aligns with the concept of sadaqah jariyah, the everlasting charity that continues to benefit even after one’s lifetime.
HDF collaborates with renowned educational institutions such as Al Jazari Institute, Miftaah Institute, Islamic University of Minnesota, University of the Middle East, and the Islamic University of Kenya. These partnerships ensure the delivery of quality education and the unlocking of boundless opportunities for scholars, effectively bridging the education gap.
