The Avicenna Foundation

Who we are

The Avicenna Foundation is a charitable organization that aims to provide scholarships to Muslim students who are in need of support and show potential and motivation for their studies. It was established to help the Muslim community through the provision of access to further education, seeking to enhance employment and work experience opportunities, whilst acting as a hub for networking and mentorship programmes.

At present, the core focus of the Foundation is to fund UK student tuition fees for undergraduates which enables talented young people from around the UK to have access to higher education in all fields. The Foundation aims to support social mobility and enrichment for its scholarship recipients by helping them realise their full potential. This is supplemented by the Foundation’s mentorship programmes which seek to nurture the talent of scholarship recipients; creating active members of civil society who excel in their chosen careers and make a positive contribution to their communities.
