The Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) has awarded 15 scholarships in Islamic finance during the inauguration ceremony of the MMA Tamweel FinLit Festival, held at the MMA. The event was officially inaugurated by Minister of Education Dr. Ismail Shafeeu, marking the start of a nationwide initiative to promote financial literacy and Islamic finance awareness.
The scholarships, offered in collaboration with INCEIF University Malaysia, will enable recipients to pursue an Executive Masters in Islamic Finance (eMIF) — a programme designed to equip leaders with the skills and vision to drive enterprise and socio-economic development. Of the total 15 awards, five are fully funded scholarships, while ten are partially funded, reflecting MMA’s commitment to widening access to advanced education in the field.
According to the programme’s description, the Executive Masters in Islamic Finance is tailored for working professionals and developed by globally recognised scholars in both conventional and Shariah finance. It is described as an inclusive, multidisciplinary course that extends beyond Islamic finance to instil values, enhance leadership skills, and prepare graduates to act as catalysts for positive change in their organisations and communities.
MMA noted that the scholarships reflect the institution’s strategic goal of developing skilled professionals who can contribute to the Maldives’ growing Islamic finance sector
