Supporting a scholar is subject to approval of the application process submitted under Community Projects and Research Projects. It should be noted that the application process can be completed by any individual so long as the recipient of the funding is aware of the application made on their behalf.

Details of application processes cannot be revealed per The Data Protection Act 2018. However, it is important to note that applications undertake a thorough ratification and eligibility check to ensure your donation is being utilised to its maximum capability. Therefore, you can help by donating to the cause of your choice which will directly help those scholars who require it most.

This is the exact reason for the creation of Supporting Sunni Scholars - to help those scholars whose efforts would be better utilised in the dissemination of Islamic knowledge.

In the first instance, you should inform the scholars you are referring to of the support available. On the Donate and Community Projects pages, you will see where funding can be offered – if the scholars’ strengths are in producing literature, they (or you, on their behalf) can submit an application for Sponsor Publishing based on the support sought. Please feel free to get in touch .
