Why Ma’rifa?
Faith-Based Approach
Our program is grounded in Shi’i thought and practice with Islamic scholars and academics guiding our approaches and content. We hope to involve our Scholars in an advising process through which they can give back to the community and develop a network of Shi’i youth across different ages.
Experience Sharing
As undergraduate or postgraduate students, Scholars offer a wealth or experience and knowledge that will benefit their advisees as the college application process becomes more rigorous and selective.
Building Community
Advising helps our Scholars stay refreshed on the application process for their own future professional endeavors. Many of our seekers go on to continue as Scholars within the program to contribute to the growth of their Shi’i peers and the overall community.
