About this program

ISNA listed six $2,000 Arfa and Faroque Khan scholarships in 2026 for law, media, or journalism. The current general eligibility also refers to students entering freshman study. Because that wording matters for someone thinking about law school or a later undergraduate year, this record preserves the provider’s criteria and directs applicants to confirm their exact degree stage rather than broadening it by inference.

In a future application, use the actual name of your degree and explain your academic plan clearly. A career goal alone may not establish the required field match. Put unresolved questions about pre-law, professional study, or enrollment stage in the planner, then resolve them with ISNA before collecting materials. The closed 2026 cycle does not establish a 2027 opening date.

Source note
