Bitcoin Educational Grant for Muslims

Are you a Muslim student or young scholar studying the religion of Islam? Are you interested in learning about Bitcoin and its relationship with Islamic finance and economics? Bitcoin Majlis invites you to apply for our Bitcoin Educational Grant for Muslims.

What is the Grant About?

The Bitcoin Educational Grant is designed for Muslim students and rising scholars.  If you’re enrolled in any academic, professional, or religious program studying theology, jurisprudence, finance, or any related domain under Islam, we’d love to hear from you. No prior knowledge of Bitcoin is required. This grant aims to provide an opportunity to explore the intersection of Bitcoin and Islamic principles.

What Do You Receive?

Chosen applicants will initially receive a comprehensive educational package, including:

– Three Essential Books: 

– An invitation to complete the “Bitcoin for Everybody” course on Saylor Academy

– A Blockstream Jade hardware wallet to securely store your Bitcoin

– Supplementary learning content to be delivered online

What are the requirements for program completion? 

After receiving the educational package, you will have three months to study the provided materials. At the end of this period, you will be required to submit a “Knowledge Synthesis Essay” demonstrating your understanding of Bitcoin and its relevance to Islamic principles. This essay will be published on the Bitcoin Majlis website.

What Do You Gain? What Happens Next?

Upon successfully completing the essay and showing your grasp of Bitcoin’s principles in relation to Islamic finance, you will receive a minimum of 0.01 BTC (around $580 at time of publication) as a reward for your efforts. 

In addition, completion of this program makes you eligible for an additional grant to expand on your research, present it at a symposium, and receive support in publishing it with a reputable journal or institute.
