PART EIGHT
Please state how much personal or other funding, if any, you can budget and commit now or over time as a contribution towards your completion of the program you selected (above) for financial assistance.

$--------------------------

NOTE: because of the continual survival rewards and gratifications money buys for us, we become bonded or addicted to money and its value. For this reason, the contribution of money usually indicates the extent of a person's value or commitment to a program. In addition, the financial contribution often, to their benefit, strengthens a person's ability to honor their commitment to themselves and the program.

Our records show that applicants that don't make some financial contribution to their program seldom complete the program. This wastes the grant funds and energies spent in their behalf and in support of the program's goals.

Financial contributions also serve to help replenish the grant fund so others may benefit from its purposes. The greater the number people in the program, the more support each individual gains from all towards their own, and the program's goals.

You may help yourself reach you goals here by letting aquaintainces know why you are involved with this program and asking them if they would help you by making a contribution towards your tuition or the grant fund.

You may use our funding program as a challenge grant which will match by us funds you obtain from another source,

 

 

The information supplied on my application is true and accurate.
I give permission for the degree program and the IGE Graduate
Student Cooperative to verify and confirm any aspect of the
information provided on this form and on supporting materials.
All work submitted on this application is my own, except where
clearly stated to the contrary. I understand and accept that if
at any time it is demonstrated that I have misrepresented myself
or my work, I may be dismissed from the degree program and IGE
Graduate Student Cooperative with no refund of fees paid, and
any degree(s) awarded may be rescinded. I give permission for my application material to be shared with others anonymously to help further their knowledge and I acknowledge that this application is void after six months unless it is extended with permission."
