Effectiveness of Scholarship Policy of Zakat Collection Unit at North Sumatra State Islamic University Medan
Abstract
In this study, the effectiveness of the scholarship policy carried out by the Zakat Collection Unit (UPZ) at State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UIN Sumatera Utara), Medan is considered. Through qualitative research, the study examines how the policy comes into being, is put into action, is overseen and influences its targets, focusing on its aims, operational rules and results for the recipients. Information was gathered using observation, interviews and analysis of documents to find out how the program operates. Tacnet Effectiveness Measurement Theory is used which looks at four main aspects to judge how effective a policy is: the mission, who does what, availability of resources and following the rules. The scholars found that while the program is created with good intentions and backed up by strong structures, there are concerns regarding the infrastructure, openness and equal distribution. To ensure the long-term effectiveness and integrity of zakat-based aid to education, the study advises boosting stakeholder engagement, greater supervision and using online resources. As a result, the research fits into the wider discussion on the management of zakat and focuses on why proper policies play a vital role in improving Islamic higher education for all.
