Introduction:

The Sir Syed Mentoring and Assistance Fellowship (SSMAF) is a mentorship and fellowship program for AMU students or alumni. It aims to provide talented and deserving students with the necessary support and guidance to achieve their academic and professional goals. We are committed to carrying forward the legacy of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, the founder of Aligarh Muslim University and a visionary leader who advocated for education as the key to progress and community development.

This fellowship program is established and managed by AMU Alumni, a group of former Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) students from around the world. It is a merit-based program designed to assist AMU students from diverse faculties, such as engineering, sciences, life sciences, medicine, arts, business, commerce, law, and education, who strongly aspire to pursue advanced studies at prestigious universities worldwide.

The SSMAF program is dedicated to providing financial assistance, exceptional mentorship, and guidance from experts in various fields of study. A rigorous selection process is implemented to ensure the identification and selection of the most exceptional talents among our applicants. The program’s primary source of funding is from the well-established global community of AMU alumni and generous stipends and salaries provided by our team members. We provide financial assistance to awardees for Standardized IELTS/TOEFL test fees, application fees for up to three universities, and access to online study materials.
