Doctoral Scholarship Programme, The Institute of Ismaili Studies

Admin Mon Mar 01, 2010 2:47 am

The Institute awards doctoral scholarships each year to suitable candidates. Preference is given to those applicants who have completed the Institute’s three year Graduate Programme in Islamic Studies and Humanities and who are interested in pursuing careers in Islamic studies. More specifically, the doctoral scholarship programme aims: (1) to encourage the study of certain neglected areas of Islamic and related studies, such as Qur’anic studies. (2) to foster a community of scholars in the areas of interest to the IIS.

Conditions

1.
This award is made in recognition of academic distinction and therefore particular attention is given to the applicants’ past academic record and future potential.
2.
Scholarships are granted for the entire duration of the degree course for which a student has applied, normally a three-year period.
3.
The annual renewal of the award is conditional upon the student’s satisfactory academic progress, which is monitored closely.
