Mindful of the importance of qualified human resources for social advancement and sustainable development, the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) has been very keen from the outset of its establishment to focus on human capital development alongside its mainstream development financing activities.
In recognition of the vital need to develop the human resources of the Muslim communities in non-Member Countries (non-MCs), IsDB launched its undergraduate scholarship program (SP) in 1983 under the title Scholarship Program for Muslim Communities (SPMC).
| Scholarship Program | Who Can Apply | Level of Study | Key Benefits |

| Master of Science Scholarship (LDMCs) | Students from Least Developed Member Countries | Master’s Degree | Full tuition, monthly stipend, research support, medical coverage |
| Merit Scholarship Program for High Technology | High-achieving students from IsDB member countries | PhD / Post-Doctoral | Research funding, advanced study support at top universities |
