About this program
PAAMA’s educational assistance supports specified Pan-African Ahmadi Muslim communities through credentialed study beyond high school. Its two named funds, Munir Hamid and Al Hajj Dr. Muzaffar A. Zafr, are administered under one program page and should not be presented as separate verified applications. Training and community-college pathways are expressly included; graduate and doctoral applicants need case-by-case consideration. The regular June 30, 2026 deadline has passed. Published late-application language requires an explanation and remaining financial need, and depends on unspent funds; it does not establish an open general cycle. Students should confirm remaining availability with the administrator before gathering a new application packet.
