Muslim Educational Institutions for Women in Tamil Nadu
That Muslims are educationally backward and consequently economically backward, is an undisputable and hence an undisputed fact. Realising this sad and bitter fact, many Muslim organisations in Tamil Nadu have sponsored and are running educational institutions for the benefit of Muslim students. Most of the institutions sponsored by Muslim organisations are for male students; a few are co-educational and almost all of them are academic.
There are two colleges, 12 Higher Secondary Schools, 3 High Schools, 2 Middle Schools and 5 Elementary Schools for Muslim girls. As regards professional institutions, there is only one Industrial Training Institute for Muslim girls. Following educational institutions have been sponsored and are run by Muslim organisations for the benefit of Muslim girls in Tamil Nadu:

Scholarship Programme:
The Scholarship Programme was started in 1404H (1983-84) and is aimed at helping needy and meritorious Muslim students in non-member countries to pursue undergraduate studies in medicine, engineering, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, veterinary sciences, agriculture and computer studies at universities in their own countries, or in other member countries of the Bank.
To implement the programme, the Bank co-operates with the Supreme Council of Islamic Organizations or a coordinating committee consisting of several bona fide and active Islamic scholars in the beneficiary countries, which assists the Bank in announcing the programme, preparing preliminary short-listing of applications, verifying the applicant's documents and in following up progress of students studying under the programme.
The Scholarships are awarded as grants to the Muslim communities concerned, and as interest-free loans (qard hasan) to the academically meritorious and financially needy students whom the communities recommend. The repaid loans are deposited in Trusts or Waqfs which are established in the beneficiary countries with the help of the Bank. The funds thus generated are recycled to help other students from the same communities.
From the inception of the Scholarship Programme till 1416H, the Bank has granted 3,490 scholarships to students from 47 countries, including Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mozambique and Palestine which, being member-countries of the Bank, have also been included in the programme on an exceptional basis.
During 1416H, the Bank spent a total of about US$ 3.094 million on the programme. The total amount spent since the inception of the programme is US$ 19.5 million ... Of this number, 1,108 students were reported to have completed their courses while about 323, for various reasons, did not successfully complete their studies. A detailed list of beneficiary countries and the number of scholarships in each country is given below:-
