NOTE: Make It Plain Ministries is a small non-profit organization that exists for the sole purpose of supporting the goals and beliefs of the worldwide Seventh-day Adventist church as consistent with scripture. (For this reason, all students will be encouraged to attend Seventh-day Adventist schools, but will not be limited to SDA schools in certain rare cases. Each case will be evaluated on an individual basis.) Because of this and the recognition of the great financial need of God’s people throughout the world, we thereby are committed to do our part in supporting young students who strive for academic and spiritual excellence. Although it is our desire to help as many students as possible, it must be noted that simply meeting the required criteria may not guarantee a full or partial scholarship. The number of students supported and the amount granted for the school year will be determined by available funds, spiritual maturity, financial need, and academic achievements. Deadline to submit application for the following school year is May 1, no exceptions. Scholars will be chosen by May 20 and notified accordingly. Scholars already benefiting from this scholarship program must reapply by May 1, though this does not guarantee a scholarship for the following school year.
Conditions and Terms:
Students desiring to apply must meet the following conditions:
1. A member of the Seventh-day Adventist church in good and regular standing who is actively involved with their church and/or ministry.
2. Must have and maintain a grade average of 84% or higher (B average or above). Final grades must be submitted, via scanned and emailed or mailed, with application.
3. Must submit progress reports (grades from the registrar) every quarter or semester to MIP.
4. Must submit a personal progress report (via letter, email, or telephone) upon request of MIP.
5. Must maintain a lifestyle that is consistent with the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist church (e.g. will abstain from alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, etc.).
6. Students will be expected to maintain a regular devotional life consisting of prayer, Bible study, and outreach.
7. Must have a combined family income of less than 100,000 pesos a year (below poverty level). Proof of income (e.g. pay stub for the month) must be submitted with application.
8. Should any of the above criteria be violated, immediate scholarship funds may be revoked.
9. Scholarship money is to be used solely for tuition, meals, books, school uniform, and dorm fee (if applicable); no exceptions.
