Aziz Foundation Launches Scholarship At Cambridge University

The Aziz Foundation is pleased to announce that it is offering a Masters Scholarship for the 2017/18 academic year at St. Edmunds College, Cambridge, for Developing Public Policy Practitioners from British Muslim communities.

The scholarship offers a unique opportunity for an exceptional Muslim student active in British Muslim communities and interested in how the needs of these communities may be met through public policy work. The Foundation also wishes to support those students who would like to pursue a career in public policy not only to benefit Muslims, but all communities, in pursuit of their specific and common goals that will help create a more cohesive Britain.

The scholarship will cover tuition and living expenses for a year, up to a maximum of £25,000 in total. To see the full range of courses to be supported by the scholarship, please SEE HERE.
