Texas Muslim Scholarship Hub

Find college funding through Texas Muslim community programs and national providers, then check the exact rules on the official application page. This directory separates geography, eligibility and application status: a Muslim-associated provider may fund students of any faith, and a national award may accept Texans without being a Texas program.

These providers describe interest-free loans that must be repaid. They are kept out of the scholarship records above. Read questions before borrowing.

  • Qard Hasan Foundation

    Repayable education loans. Texas versus Greater Austin wording differs between provider pages; confirm current eligibility.

  • A Continuous Charity

    Repayable education loans. General 2026 cycle closed; partner-specific cycles have separate instructions.

Application preparation and source notes

Records were checked against provider pages on October 5, 2026. Open means the provider explicitly announced an active cycle as checked; upcoming means a future opening was published; closed and historical preserve useful past criteria without inviting an expired application. Confirm cycle means the displayed dates do not establish a current year. Awards and eligibility are provider statements, not a guarantee of funding. Future checks must advance checkedOn only after an actual source review.
