What this programme covers
The Usman Moon Scholarship helps bright, under-resourced learners stay in school with dignity. Criteria, expenses, and renewal rules below are designed to be fair, clear, and accountable to donors.
Criteria for qualifying
Students are assessed on two basic dimensions: need and merit.
A
Financial need
We review documents and household circumstances to understand true need.
B
Academic merit & interview
We balance compassion with commitment to learning outcomes.
Expenses covered & limits
- Admission
- Tuition
- Books
- Uniform
- Shoes
- Transport (where approved)
Educational expenses are covered up to Intermediate level, within approved limits set each cycle. The exact cap depends on school fees, locality, and fund availability — communicated clearly to each family at award time.
Tenure & how support is provided
Award cycles typically run one year, with renewal subject to academic performance, conduct, and continued need. Disbursements are aligned with school terms so fees and essentials are paid when families need them most.
Between 2015 and 2017, ILM disbursed over 1,500 scholarships — a milestone that reflects both donor trust and rigorous on-ground monitoring.
Finding deserving students
1
Networks & referrals — Teachers, volunteers, and community partners flag families who need support.
2
Direct applications — Parents may apply with documentation through ILM channels.
3
Campaigns — Website notices and SMS drives widen reach across neighbourhoods we serve.
Collection & use of Zakat
We operate under approved guidance for applying Zakat to educational support for eligible beneficiaries. All Zakat is utilised within one year — before the next Ramadan — so funds stay timely and purposeful.
Your trust is our pride
Transparency matters: trustees and programme leads review outcomes, monitor student progress, and ensure every rupee aligns with ILM’s mission.
Clear reporting
Donors see how support translates into attendance, results, and wellbeing.
Governance
Board oversight keeps programmes aligned with policy and ethics.
Student-first
Decisions prioritise the child’s continuity, safety, and dignity in school.
