About this program
The national office of The International League of Muslim Women provides this leadership scholarship through a detailed 2026 application. Its college options include two-year and vocational or technical study, making it relevant beyond four-year universities. The application requests school and community activities, an essay about education and barriers faced by women leaders, and supporting documents. Its dated May 31 deadline has passed even though a submit button remains on the form. Neither a live form nor national branding proves an open current cycle. Historical program announcements invite Muslim women, while the current form does not repeat an explicit faith requirement; applicants should clarify this rather than assume broader eligibility. A present per-student award amount is not published in the reviewed application.
