Penny Appeal USA announced today a new scholarship for current leaders working in organizations established by American Muslims.
The scholarship covers the full tuition to participate in Georgetown University’s annual Summer Nonprofit Management Executive Certificate Program at the McCourt School of Public Policy.
Penny Appeal USA President & CEO, Oussama Mezoui said, “ We are very excited to announce this scholarship. The goal of the scholarship is to advance inclusion, build leadership capacity, and support the growth of American Muslim nonprofit organizations and institutions which do fantastic work all over the US.â€
