Student Aid projects at Al-Madinah International University PDF Print E-mail

“Distinguished students prevented by financial difficulties from completing their studies.”

“Your generous contributions can make them qualified leaders and scholars who practice Islam in their personal lives and help elevate the status of this ummah among the rest of nations.”


The Muslim Ummah has been blessed with a tremendous number of young students with talents and capabilities that give them the potential to make effective contributions to the welfare of humanity. However, the Ummah is losing a vast amount of that potential because of the financial handicaps and material shortfalls that deny those talents the opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills that would prepare them to help themselves, first of all, as well as to help and improve their Muslim societies and humanity in general.

Based on the desire of Al-Madinah International University to provide opportunities for that vast number of deprived students throughout the Muslim world, in particular, as well as the world, in general, to study the Islamic sciences, Al-Madinah International University has initiated a number of charitable endowment projects to help students. They are as follows:
  1. Endowment fund for scholarships to low-income students
  2. Endowment fund for expedited student loans
  3. Student stipend program


1. Endowment fund for scholarships to low-income students

This program is designed to give benefactors the chance to provide opportunities for poor and low-income students in our university to complete their degrees and equip them with authentic Islamic knowledge, as well as knowledge and skills of contemporary relevance and recognized academic qualifications. That will prepare them to be wise callers to Islam, teachers, scholars who apply Islam in their personal lives, successful leaders, and a resource for their Ummah. They will participate in teaching knowledge and dispelling ignorance from themselves and others.

By means of this program, it will be possible to pay the tuition fees of poor students, allowing them to enroll in the university as well as to acquire the educational tools and other auxiliary necessities for this form of education, i.e., a computer, which they will pay for by an expedited installment loan program, school bags, instructional CDs which will contain a great deal of their curriculum, in addition to printed materials. Ultimately, the goal is to also provide individual aid packages that will help the student meet his basic living expenses.

Tuition Costs of a University Student

First, Tuition costs are calculated on the basis of the number of credit hours students are required to take for their academic program in accord with the standards set by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency of the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education.

Second, the number of credit-hours for the programs for which assistance is offered through the financial aid endowment program for the year 2008 CE is as follows:

 Program Name

Number of Credit-Hours

Bachelor’s in Islamic Studies, specializing in the Qur’an and its sciences

127 credit-hours

Bachelor’s in Islamic Studies, specializing in fiqh (jurisprudence) and usool al-fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence).
Bachelor’s in Islamic Studies, specializing in da`wah and Islamic theology
Bachelor’s in Linguistics, specializing in Arabic and its literature.
Bachelor’s in Islamic Studies, specializing in Hadith and its sciences.

126 credit-hours

Third, an additional expense in the first academic year is the cost of a computer required for the student’s participation in the program. The cost of the computer must eventually be repaid by the student to the student loan endowment fund by a system of very easy installments. A portion of the loan will be excused if the student attains a high level of academic achievement. If that high level is maintained, such that the student graduates with academic distinction, the entire value of the loan will be excused and the student will receive the computer as a gift upon graduation. Each semester the University dispenses a stipend to help students with their basic living expenses.

Fourth, there are a number of additional nominal expenses related to enrollment, student services, mailing expenses, etc. whose costs must be calculated as part of the total student financial aid package. The expenses are as follows:
