SSMAF Fellowship

Sir Syed Mentoring and Assistance Fellowship 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, founder of Aligarh Muslim University.

SSMAF aims to provide international exposure and development opportunities to students and alumni of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), India. In 2017, the AMUSO Facebook group was established to assist AMU students in pursuing higher education at prestigious global universities. The group has successfully aided numerous students in securing admissions with full financial aid. However, many deserving students need financial support in meeting standardized test and application requirements, hindering their progress. Hence, SSMAF was launched in Dec. 2020 to provide financial support for such expenses and offer superior guidance.
