Encouraging Muslims’ integration in the German society, the federal government has launched a scholarship program to elevate the skills of the Muslim students in all disciplines.
It is a first in German history, as for the first time 65 young Muslims were awarded scholarships and this is expected to rise to 500 people in the years to come,” Bülent Uçar, chairman of Avicenna Studienwerk, told Today’s Zaman on Tuesday, November 18.
Sponsored by the governmental Avicenna Studienwerk scheme, the scholarships aim to support the talented, motivated and socially committed Muslim students in Germany.
During their scholarship, Muslim students will get at least 670 Euros per month along with additional 300 Euros, while PhD students will receive 1,150 euros per month.
Avicenna Studienwerk organization was praised for being the first governmental organization to cater to Muslims’ needs in the academic field.
============================================================= Germany embraces young Muslims through education
[…]Hundreds of people, including high-profile guests from German politics, economy and other sectors of German society, came together in Berlin on Monday to welcome the first 65 Muslim fellows, the majority of whom were women who have been awarded scholarships by the Avicenna Studienwerk scheme.
[…]The program signals a growing acceptance that Muslims make up more than 3 million of Germany’s population and that they should not be dismissed but instead incorporated into a cultural and social dialogue. Wolfgang Rohe, executive director of the Mercator Foundation, one of the main financial supporters of Avicenna Studienwerk, said fostering educational opportunities for people from migrant backgrounds in Germany is vital and should be the starting point for this issue.
“We were aware that many migrants [in Germany] are from religious backgrounds and so we had to deal with this religious topic … and then we decided to invest in this Avicenna project to provide educational opportunities for migrants,” Rohe said in a talk with Today’s Zaman
He does his usual excellent job.
It’s about time the PC bureaucratic and political perverts took a lt more notice of Robert Spencer’s stated facts!
