Apply now for the Hiridjee Foundation Student Loan

We are excited to announce that The Hiridjee Foundation Student Loan applications are now open for two female students in our Khoja community who wish to pursue a higher education degree (undergraduate, Masters or Ph.D.).

The loan is available for a maximum of £10,000 per student per academic year, for up to three consecutive years.

The deadline for applications is 24th August 2018!

The Hiridjee Foundation Student Loan has been helping female students from our community to pursue their studies and achieve their educational goals since 2008.

Over the past ten years, we have had a wide variety of applicants from all over the world. The loan has been awarded to students of Law, Mathematics, Dental Surgery, Psychology, Optometry, Economics, Neuroscience and many more. The successful applicants have proceeded to study their preferred courses at many of the highest rated universities around the world, including Queen Mary University, Birmingham University, La Trobe University and the Cedar Crest College to name a few.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many females who have a desire to study but have financial constraints preventing them from doing so. The World Federation and the Hiridjee Foundation are incredibly passionate about encouraging the female members of our community to further their education and kick-start their careers and this loan is a great first step towards this.

Over the last two years, we have received six applications for this generous and steady loan scheme, all of which were successful!

Their excellent academic performance, in addition to their voluntary involvement in the community was commendable. The Loan Application Committee (LAC), with the generous support of the Hiridjee Foundation, decided to grant the loan to all six applicants.
