Avicenna is the first state-sponsored Muslim scholarship programme in Germany. It supports gifted and socially-committed students of all disciplines. Avicenna has been supporting talented and socially-involved Muslim students and doctoral candidates with its scholarships since 2014. Since the winter semester of 2014/15, Muslim students at German universities have been able to apply for a means-tested basic sum of up to 670 Euros a month and a lumpsum of 300 Euros for tuition costs. Doctoral candidates receive 1,150 Euros a month. Avicenna awarded its first 65 scholarships in 2014 and another 80 in 2015. “In 2018 we plan to have a pool of 500 scholarship-holders.” Currently most of these are women.

It is a comprehensive magazine, places a relatively high emphasis on social issues and strives to have a broad appeal. Since 1987, Islamic Voice has covered its fascinating namesake without fear or favour, with insight, accuracy, thoroughness and a well rounded perspective on a variety of subjects - be it the economy, politics, lifestyle, the arts, entertainment, travel, science, technology or health.
