We are motivated by students who have strong Muslim identities and study in all fields and work to provide interest-free loans. We aim to diversify the pool of candidates and to select students from diverse racial and economic backgrounds in a wide array of fields of study.
As a chapter of A Continuous Charity, a national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, we support the goal of promoting the spiritual and intellectual development of Muslim students in North America.
To support this work and make a deep impact on the lives of Muslim students, donate to help students from California today.
