Scholarships that we have covered before were awarded to only individuals who deserved it by basing the requirements of academic merit and financial need; however, the scholarship that we are covering today is awarded to whole groups of people since Maulana Scholarship was established to build basic educational infrastructures for backward minorities. In short, one person can’t apply for this scholarship since Maulana Scholarship is designated for a group of people. Applicants who are eligible for this scholarship must be a Trust or a Society of some sort in order to apply, and your group should be established for the good of your local community since you are asking for educational opportunities by applying for this scholarship.
