Aims & objectives
|
| Established in 1987 for the study, promotion and understanding
of Islamic Art History, Architecture and Archaeology, both
the Barakat Trust (U.K.) and the Barakat Foundation (U.S.A.)
are non-profit charitable organisations. Through the generosity
of individual and corporate donors, Barakat provides financial
support for students and scholars of Islamic culture. This
assistance is granted with the hope that scholars will continue
to add to the body of Islamic scholarship while enhancing the
possibilities of cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. |
| Barakat operates exclusively for educational purposes, providing
scholarships and grants in specific areas of study at accredited
world institutions. Exhibitions, conferences, conservation
projects and publications are also supported. |
| Applications are considered once a year by the Executive
Committees of the Trust and Foundation, and each application
is considered on its own merit. Financial support awarded by
Barakat varies depending on individual circumstances. To qualify
for support, proposed projects should show promise of genuine
and useful contributions to knowledge, and be consistent with
Barakat’s overall aims. |
