About this program
This program rewards service before college through a Muslim humanitarian organization. The community-wide route does not require foundation volunteering; the second route does. Students should document what they did, whom it helped, and how service shapes their future plans. The $25,000 figure is the full program pool, not a promised individual award. The official page is labeled 2026 and contains an application link, but no closing date or explicit current submission status. The linked Google form could not be read during verification, so the record should not display an open-cycle badge. Muslim applicants may qualify, but the published criteria do not restrict the program by faith.
Source note
