Potential scholarship recipients must integrate in the ongoing social activities of FUNDEHUMAC for a period of six months to receive training and to work in communties and with the children of Paso a Paso. After this period, if the candidate is rated positively, he or she is awarded a scholarship. This process ensures that the new candidate will fulfill the requirements set by both NGOs. MFI's main requirement is academic excellency. Fundehumac requires that in exchange for the education received, a student must actively work on social programs. In some cases, some students have worked for up to one year, prior to receiving a scholarship, due to MFI's limited resources.
