About Us

Who We are?

The SSMAF is a community-driven initiative dedicated to empowering talented students and alumni of AMU through mentorship and financial support. Established with the vision of fostering academic excellence and seizing global opportunities, SSMAF has helped hundreds of students in navigating the complexities of higher education and securing admissions to prestigious universities worldwide.

Our Vision & Mission

At SSMAF, we are dedicated to upholding Sir Syed Ahmad Khan’s legacy by fostering a culture of education, mentorship, and community empowerment. Our mission is to identify and support deserving students, equipping them with the guidance, resources, and confidence needed to achieve their academic and professional aspirations. By bridging the gap between ambition and opportunity, we strive to cultivate a new generation of leaders.

As Sir Syed emphasized, ‘Science in one hand, the Quran in the other, and the crown of La Ilaha Illallah (There is no god but Allah) on the forehead,’ his vision underscores the importance of intellectual growth while remaining firmly rooted in spiritual values.

Founder's Message

As the Founder of SSMAF, I take immense pride in the progress and impact we have achieved since our inception. This initiative was born from a heartfelt desire to give back to the AMU community and help others realize their dreams of pursuing world-class education. At SSMAF, we believe in the transformative power of mentorship and collective effort, and I invite everyone to join us in this journey of transforming lives and building a brighter future.
