Anti-Fraud & Accountability

SISP enforces strict anti-fraud and accountability measures to protect trust, ensure fairness, and uphold ethical stewardship across all programs.

Anti-Fraud & Accountability

At Shaker International Scholarship Programs (SISP), maintaining the highest standards of integrity is central to our mission.

Our commitment to anti-fraud measures and accountabilityis foundational — not optional. These principles protect the trust placed in us by students, partners, institutions, and communities worldwide.

We serve people to empower them toward success — so they may, in turn, serve and strengthen their own nations.

To fulfill this mission, every scholarship, grant, and form of assistance must be managed with ethical discipline, transparency, and responsibility.

A Zero-Tolerance Anti-Fraud Policy

SISP maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward fraud, corruption, misrepresentation, or abuse of trust within any of its programs.

This policy is grounded in the belief that:

• Integrity is non-negotiable
• Accountability is essential
• Trust must be actively protected

Any individual or entity found engaging in fraudulent or unethical behavior will be subject to full investigation and appropriate corrective action, including withdrawal of awards and legal recourse when necessary.

What Constitutes Fraud

Fraud includes, but is not limited to:

• Intentional deception in applications
• Misrepresentation of academic or personal information
• Falsified documentation or credentials
• Manipulation of selection or reporting processes
• Collusion or unauthorized assistance
• Any attempt to exploit systems for personal gain

SISP employs rigorous verification and due diligence to identify and prevent fraudulent activity before it compromises program integrity.

Accountability Through Verification & Oversight

To uphold accountability, SISP has established structured systems of oversight:

1. Independent Verification

Every application and supporting document undergoes independent, standardized verification to confirm authenticity and accuracy.

2. Ethical Review & Compliance

Our compliance framework includes ethics reviews, cross-reference checks, and continuous monitoring to uphold procedural integrity.

3. Reporting Mechanisms

SISP provides confidential reporting channels for concerns, suspicions, or verified evidence of wrongdoing.

We encourage transparent reporting and ensure protection for individuals who report in good faith.

4. Proportional Response & Action

When concerns are identified, SISP conducts due diligence and may implement corrective actions, including:

• Revocation of eligibility
• Suspension or termination of awards
• Restoration of rightful beneficiaries
• Legal action where warranted

These measures ensure fairness, accountability, and institutional protection.

Lessons Learned & Institutional Strengthening

While SISP was founded on trust and service, a serious incident in Bangladesh highlighted the critical importance ofinstitutional safeguards.

This experience strengthened our commitment to governance frameworks that protect the mission, scholars, and partners we serve.

As a result, SISP has reinforced its anti-fraud architectureto match its humanitarian goals with equally robust accountability systems.

A Culture of Integrity & Responsibility

Anti-fraud measures and accountability are not confined to policy — they define the culture of SISP.

Every team member, partner, and scholar is expected to uphold these values as part of the SISP community.

Our accountability standards ensure that support is used as intended — to uplift deserving students and prepare leaders who serve their nations with integrity.
