MISSION
ACCESSIBLE HIGHER EDUCATION
Many students have a hard time getting higher education because of the soaring costs of colleges and universities. Taking out a bank loan with interest only makes things worse. In case of unaffordability of funds, the prospective future doctor may end up abandoning his/her dreams. However, QASHF tries to make it easier on students to get their medical education.
Peace of mind for parents who are worried about funding their children’s education and future dreams. Keeping student life debt-free decreases stress on families.
Sharing from the abundance granted to us to attract more blessings. This generosity becomes a perpetual source of blessing for generations to come.
We anticipate, in all good faith, that the beneficiaries and other future generations of QAMC will continue and fortify the program in accordance with QAMC motto: Devotion, Duty and Dedication!
By extending financial assistance to students, our aim is to make it easier for students, in need, to manage their educational and boarding expenses. The aim is to help students focus on academic excellence.
