Empowering the outer islanders from Micronesia at home and abroad

Congressional Scholarship for Fanapi Islanders

By

Congressional-Scholarship

The Fanapi Foundation is pleased to announce the creation of an application form for outer islanders from the Northwest Region of Pattiw, Pafeng, and Namwonweito to access a $20,000 scholarship from the FSM Congress. While the Foundation has no direct access or control over the funds, we have developed the application for students to apply for this fund. The scholarship, selection criteria, amount, disbursement process are fully controlled by Senator Tony Otto, the current congressional representative for the Northwest region in the FSM Congress. But the application enables college students from those fanapi islands to apply for it. We encourage all students from 2-year or 4-year accredited institutions to apply for the scholarship.
