I'm currently an undergraduate student at an expensive liberal arts university (full cost: $65,000/year). FADEL, Alhamdulillah, has been incredibly helpful. Since I first applied two years ago in my senior year of high school, they have been every generous in their awards. I'm very thankful. Thank you FADEL.

Scholarship search.
What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
Their financial assistance has definitely aided me in my studies.
I worked in a state prison as a chaplain. My education was limited with my undergraduate degree in criminal justice. FEF provided significant funding that allowed me to complete 72 graduate credits in Islamic Chaplaincy. These specific advanced graduate studies are what is required for federal governmental employment. Other funding sources should consider matching FEF so that more qualified Muslim chaplains can be educated. My constructive feedback would be only that I hope more funding comes to FEF to help more students like myself help those incarcerated.

I would change their endowment by adding at least three zeros to increase its capacity.
Since that time, I have wanted to relay to the organization what a benefit they are to the public in encouraging educational goals and promoting higher education for everyone. I hope to one day be able to give back to the group.

Alsalamu Alaykum, I was a single divorced mother raising a son without any child support and working full time making 1,500 monthly when I began to work on my masters degree. Thanks to Allah for Ayman Fadel's organization that made it possible for me to complete my degree and secure a better life for myself and my son. Hussnia

As salaamu alaykum! Each time I remember the Fadel Foundation, I become so emotional and I start pouring down duas (prayers)for them. It was in the year 1999, when I returned to the United States to continue my studies in the health field. Then by the qadar (destiny) of Allaah, I stumbled upon the Fadel Foundation website, and got hooked up with the application process. My actual studies as an undergrad started in summer of 2001, and throughout my undergrad studies from 2001 to 2006, I was a recipient of the Fadel Foundation grants. Alhamdulilaah. I also introduced my sibs, husband, and friends. Those that applied received the grants as well. Last year, on my quest to begin graduate school, I contacted the foundation to inquire about grants for graduate studies. I was so delighted to hear their positive feedback. In short, I have been a recipient for the past nine years, alhamdulilaah.
The Great!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
their professionalism and the distance they would go to assist low-income deserving, talented students.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
kind and very willing to work out the awards with you and your school.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
reach out to so many students who do not have any idea that such a foundation like FEF does exist.

The FEF helped me with my medical school tuition 10 years ago. It made a huge difference to me and helped me achieve my goal of becoming a doctor. I found the FEF to be very organized & professional. I hope they continue to serve their great mission for many years to come.

I was a beneficiary of FEF for a couple of years. I found them to be highly professional. fair and honest in their selection of recipients. Ayman Fadel, the CEO, is polite and will go the distance to help someone who is trying to be accepted. The pay the grant in a timely manner and I've never had a problem with them paying it to the school. I only wish they were able to fund for graduate work, since it is one of the best educational foundation around.
