WEF/SFF Herzing MBA Program Cohort, 2016–2020

September 1, 2016

Between 2016 and 2020, SFF collaborated with the World-Wide Education Fund (WEF) to provide a 'learn & earn' MBA financial assistance program for students from Pakistan, Tajikistan, and India at Herzing University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thirty students completed the program in total, supported by the Atlanta Jamat community, which played an active role assisting students during their studies. The Herzing program was SFF's first education partnership in the United States and laid the groundwork for the SEEU program in North Macedonia that followed in 2020.
