Imam Khomeini, the great founder of Islamic Republic was once one of the prominent teachers in the seminary.
He had his full support for all specifically those students who could not afford their tuition fees in the course of education.
Of course, Imam’s benevolent behavior was not limited to the students from the seminary of Qom. On many occasions students from other provincial seminaries would refer to his eminence to receive financial support.
The great Imam deemed it necessary to give his assistance to seminary students who were expected to launch significant missions in their future life.
To this end, under Imam’s order the indigent were paid deservedly from different sources such as religious obligations.
