Description
The Zamrood Karim Memorial Scholarship was originally established in 2019 and is financially supported by the Karim family in memory of their late parents. The primary objective of this scholarship is to encourage, assist, and promote academically talented students in pursuing studies related to indigenous cultures and issues.
Indigenous studies are an interdisciplinary academic field that fosters a rigorous and respectful comprehension of indigenous cultures. As indigenous worldviews continue to gain significance in contemporary society, indigenous studies have emerged as a rapidly growing area of academic exploration. This field equips students with the knowledge and skills to engage with indigenous people and their cultural concepts in our ever-changing world. Indigenous studies engage various disciplines in a critical dialogue with both traditional and contemporary indigenous communities, as well as with social and economic circumstances.
