About Us

Dollar-A-Day Scholarship Fund, Inc. (D.A.D.) is the nation's leading Muslim scholarship and professional development program. It is a not-for-profit, fund established on the basis of three principles: scholarship, global leadership, and commitment to service. As one of the first Muslim scholarship funds in the country, D.A.D. has become a power-house of sorts, providing a gateway of resources for Muslim students which include scholarships, no-interest loans, internship stipends, and professional development opportunities which include networking and a mentorship program.

The cornerstone of our organization is the concept that individuals can support our mission with as little as a dollar a day, or approximately $30 per month and $365 per year.
