The Academic Advisory Committee annually defines the categories and values of awards within which applications may be made, and retains the right to adjust the number and value of awards in the light of funds available, and the quality and quantity of applications received.

A grant of up to £50,000 per year, for a maximum of three years, towards the costs of making available online any collection of Islamic art, architecture or archaeology. The grant is made from zakāt, and therefore only Muslims and Islamic institutions (including libraries and museums in Islamic lands) are eligible to apply. Institutions which can raise matching funds may receive priority. Successful applicants must undertake to adhere to the standards for digitisation agreed with the Barakat Trust.
B. Grants for Study in Oxford
