The Mahmoudi Scholarship Panel is pleased to announce the 2023 awardees of the scholarship in justice. Seven applicants from Africa and two from Asia are the recipients of this year’s scholarship for youth advancing social justice.
This year’s applicants include students and refugees, who in addition to an excellent academic record, are active members of their schools and communities. Their activities promote social justice in a variety of ways. These include offering education to children, tribal unification, reduction in teenage pregnancy, deforestation, girls’ education, community development, waste management, and conflict resolution.
Supported by The Zambian Gems Foundation in Oxford, UK, as well as Full Circle Learning in the United States, the Mahmoudi Scholarship awards 15-18-year-old African or Asian youth from diverse backgrounds. The scholarship supports those who demonstrate academic excellence coupled with an exceptional approach to promoting access to justice on a community level.
The Mahmoudi Scholarship for Justice is established in honour of one of the most impactful and multi-talented couples in contemporary Iran, Zhinus and Houshang Mahmoudi.
Following review by an independent panel, the results are publicly announced on 27 December each year. To find out more about the Mahmoudi Scholarships, or to get involved, please email: [email protected]
