AMP Scholarship Fund – 2023
 

AMP invites applications for its Higher Education Scholarship Fund for the Year 2023

Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP) is a Platform for all Muslim professionals and willing volunteers to share their knowledge, intellect, experience and skills for the overall development of the Muslim Community and for empowering Muslims in the Educational, Social, Political and Economic fronts of life. AMP was founded in the Year 2007 by a group of Indian citizens and is registered as a Section 8 non-profit organisation with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It is entirely funded by its members and other socially aware individuals (patrons).

With the noble intention of helping our needy Muslim brethren, AMP has initiated a ‘Scholarship Fund.’ The purpose of this fund is to provide monetary support to genuinely needy Muslims for Higher & Technical Education.

AMP firmly believes that Education has the power to salvage the community from the throes of ignorance and widespread adversity and usher in a new era of prosperity.  As such it feels that there needs to be focus on Higher Education so that talented and able individuals from the community can gain the right skills and qualifications required to grab contemporary opportunities and walk at the same pace with the fast-evolving world.
