Would you like to participate in FAJRO 2024 but live outside the National Capital Region (NCR) or are undergoing financial difficulties? Are you not able to pay for your travel costs to Quezon City by yourself? The Philippine Esperanto Youth, with the generous financial support of the World Esperanto Youth Organization (TEJO), is launching a special stipend program to make your participation in our event a reality!

If you are chosen to receive the stipend, you will:

• receive a 50, 75, or 100-percent reimbursement of your travel costs using the cheapest possible way to travel between your hometown and Quezon City; and
• participate in the event without paying for the registration fee.

Other costs such as travel insurance and pocket money are not covered by the stipend. Should you require accommodation before or after the event, we can assist you in finding an economical option.

In order to be eligible for the stipend, you should, at the time of the application:

• age 18-35 years old;
• be a Philippine citizen and reside in the Philippines;
• be a registered individual member of Philippine Esperanto Youth in 2024; and
• possess a basic (CEFR A1-A2) spoken level of Esperanto, to be assessed with an interview.

Additionally, there are criteria that will help us more favorably assess your eligibility for the stipend (but are not required to have):

• possess an intermediate or advanced proficiency in Esperanto (at least CEFR B1);
• be a resident outside the National Capital Region (NCR)*;
• be a student or unemployed;
• be a registered individual member of TEJO in 2024; and
• have a known history of active participation in FEJ's activities or day-to-day work.

*Residents of NCR are given less priority for selection. Still, the selection committee will review applications on a case-to-case basis.

If you are selected, you must fulfill the following conditions to receive the stipend:

• assist the organizing team by fulfilling tasks before, during, and after FAJRO 2024;
• contribute to the event programme (through a lecture, game, workshop, etc.)
• support post-event information dissemination by writing an article, publishing a video or a social media post, etc.

Please be aware of the following dates:

• May 27: Start of the application period
• June 30: Deadline to file applications
• July 01-05: Interview and deliberation period
• July 07: Announcement of selected applicants
• July 27: FAJRO 2024
