Opening Doors

Misbah Trust believes that your talent shouldn’t be blocked by your bank account or your background. Manar Program is built for Shiite youth in Western universities who have the drive to succeed but are facing real obstacles, whether that’s paying for tuition, keeping up with demanding coursework or just trying to figure out how the system works.

Education in our tradition is not just a personal achievement; it is a duty to your family and community. We exist to help you fulfill that responsibility.

Misbah Trust is here to clear the path. By providing practical financial help and steady guidance, we let you focus your energy where it belongs: on your learning and your future goals.

The Barriers We Break

We know that getting into university is only half the battle. Many talented students arrive on campus without the safety nets that others take for granted. Tuition costs and living expenses can crush a family budget, and being the “first” in your family to go to college can feel isolating. Without a culturally aware mentor to guide you, even simple decisions, like choosing classes or finding an internship, can feel overwhelming. We are here to ensure you don’t have to navigate that complexity alone.

What Misbah Trust Provides

We focus on concrete, practical support that changes your daily reality.

• Need-Based Scholarships. We help cover tuition and core expenses, so money doesn’t hold you back.
• Essential Tech. We provide laptops, software and study materials so you can compete on a level playing field.
• Private Tutoring. We connect you with tutors for key subjects, turning “falling behind” into “moving ahead.”
• Dedicated Mentorship. We pair you with an experienced professional who will stick with you for the long haul; helping you navigate your degree, your internships and your first career moves.

Thriving, Not Just Surviving

Access is one thing; success is another. Manar program is unique because we don’t treat your challenges as separate problems. Misbah Trust knows that financial stress, academic pressure and career confusion are all connected. By addressing them together, backing your wallet, your grades and your career plan, we give you a real chance to thrive. We are creating the conditions where you can participate fully in academic life, on equal footing with your peers.
