Aziz Foundation Scholarships Programme

Murray Edwards College, a College for women at the University of Cambridge, has launched a new Masters scholarship programme in partnership with the Aziz Foundation, a charity which funds British Muslim scholars to study at UK universities and then supports them to make meaningful contributions in their careers, communities and wider society. The programme is the first to be targeted by the Foundation exclusively at women. Under the new partnership, funded jointly by the College and the Foundation, recipients of the Scholarships will have their tuition fees paid for an eligible Masters degree at Murray Edwards College. Applicants must be active within a Muslim community and demonstrate intimate knowledge of issues affecting British Muslim communities, demonstrate long-term commitment to community/societal development within Britain, and show how the course will increase their effectiveness in areas relating to British Muslims, including effective advocacy and enhancing public perception to combat Islamophobia, or community service and social development to raise aspirations and standards within British Muslim communities.
