The Institute has various scholarship and fellowship programmes available for suitable candidates with a focus in Islamic Studies or other areas of interest to the IIS.
Doctoral Scholarship Programme

More specifically, the doctoral scholarship programme aims (1) to encourage the study of certain neglected areas of Islamic and related studies, such as Qur’anic studies and (2) to foster a community of scholars in the areas of interest to the IIS.
Zahid 'Ali Scholarship Programme

The Zahid Ali Scholarship, in the amount of £5000, is awarded once every five years to an internationally renowned scholar working in the field of Classical Arabic Literature who intends to use the award to carry-out research on a topic of relevance to Ismaili Studies.
