Attend Ma’rifa

Funding

At Ma’rifa, we are committed to expanding the conference's accessibility for all Shi’i students. As such, we have compiled some resources and tips to help you secure funding for your trip.

We encourage you to use our letter templates below to contact organizations and departments at your university that may be able to provide funding (e.g., offices for religious life/diversity, or Muslim student groups). We have also attached absence excuse letter templates for students. 

Ma’rifa will also provide limited financial aid to eligible first- or second-time attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. As long as funds are available, you may apply for funding by filling out the form below.
