The IsDB Scholarship Programme is more than just a scholarship programme in the traditional sense of straight financial assistance to outstanding and qualified students. It is also a tool for the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of the Member Countries and Muslim communities. It is basically a scholarship programme and a development programme at the same time since the scholarship is given as an interest-free-loan (Qard Hasan) to the students and as a grant to their communities /countries to which they belong.
Place of Study
Consistent with the concept of the Programme, admission is solely the responsibility of the student. Selected students must obtain admission from one of the top 10 public/government universities in their own countries. Check the ranking of Universities http://webometrics.info/en
Meanwhile, for some students who could not secure admission in their own countries, due to any unavoidable situation, the IsDB may seek admission in member countries having an agreement with the IsDB. The final decision of the admission of any student under these agreements is subject to acceptance by the respective universities in these countries.

Please note that if you don’t hear from IsDB by End of July 2021, that should mean you have not been selected for the scholarship.
Admin note:
1. For Masters, PhD and Post-Doctoral scholarships, it is clear that after completing the study, it is mandatory to return 50% of the total costs that have been borne by IsDB. So it is clear that there are dishonest websites that mention fully funded scholarships without explaining that there is a value that must be replaced after studying.
2. For undergraduate scholarships it is not clear. If you are interested even though the scholarship is not full, you can just register first, then confirm it again when you are accepted.
