Aziz Foundation Masters Scholarship for International Students 2025.
The Aziz Foundation Masters Scholarship was designed to support British Muslims pursuing postgraduate studies in the United Kingdom. Established by the Aziz Foundation, the scholarship aims to empower British Muslim communities by addressing underrepresentation in higher education and key sectors of society. The program seeks to develop future leaders who can contribute positively to their communities and wider society through academic excellence, professional development, and civic engagement.
The scholarship fully covers tuition fees for a wide range of master’s programs at partner universities across the UK. It is open to students who demonstrate a strong commitment to community service, leadership potential, and the ability to influence change in areas such as media, law, technology, politics, community activism, and public policy.
