APPENDIX D

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

The Institute of Formation, Fondacio Asia (IFFAsia) subsidizes, to a large extent, the cost of

formation to enable young adults from diverse backgrounds and countries to participate in this

formation program.

It is the policy of IFFAsia to engage the participation of the student and the sending organization

to raise the needed funds for the formation cost, visa fees, pocket money and cost of air fare to

and from the Philippines.

Thus, before requesting the Institute for financial assistance, the applicant and the sending

organization are encouraged to apply the following means:

a. Applicant need to first make one’s own maximum personal contribution for his/her formation

program

b. Seek the support of family and friends for sponsorship

c. Obtain the support of the sending organization to finance his/her formation program

d. To also approach the local community, through BECs or other network together with the

sending organization for financial support and prayers too.

Before coming to IFFAsia, applicants are required to do some sponsorship. The effort of their

sponsorship is of great value as:

a. It helps them to have a better hold of their formation year with greater focus and clear

motivations.

b. The sponsorship received can supplement their personal contributions and share the

formation cost with a network of family and friends

c. It is part of their formation and mission training where they learn to trust in God’s

providence, and how to fundraise for mission projects at the Institute and later in ministry.

The sending organization is also encouraged and required to support their students in this effort.

How to start on your sponsorship

a. Prepare a personal presentation to share your background briefly about your family, studies,

work and your faith life. Share your motivation on why you choose to enter this formation

program. Include your target amount to raise for the formation and indicate your personal

contribution and what you need.

b. Go and meet family, friends, and parishioners to invite them to be your support, not only for

sponsorship but also for prayer. Often, the time when you establish new relationships with

your sponsors and prayer partners, it is also the time of your spiritual conversion and

salvation.

c. In receiving any sponsorship, it is strongly encouraged that all sponsorship are channelled

through the sending organization or sent directly to the Institute to ensure accountability and

integrity.

How to apply for financial assistance

IFFAsia may on a case to case basis offer scholarship or study loan to cover the partial cost of

formation program and accommodation only. The cost of airfare, visa and pocket money will

NOT BE covered. Preference will be given to those who have been able to secure maximum

amount from other sources.

Application for financial assistance must be submitted together with the program application.

After deliberation by the management, scholarship or study loan may be granted.
