1. Carry on the IFP legacy. Why?
A) The IFP experience has transformed individuals and given them more assets:
social assets: cohort, international friends & professors
Intellectual and professional assets
International experience
more confident to use their knowledge and skills in addressing social issues.
B) Impact of IFP can begin to be seen in the what alumni are doing as social change agents. Social commitment: “Not paying back, but pay it forward…”
C) The alumni group is a strong collective actor who share a unique identity throughout their origins, IFP journeys, and after their returns to communities.

2. What? First discussion June 12, 2010 in Hanoi.
A) Continue writing alumni stories : Alumni Stories live on as role models of public servants, community “leaders”;
- Write more stories, make more videos distribute to the media, local communities.
B) Options of activities which may have similar impact as IFP.
- Original Water Lilies Fund support students of the same target population to complete undergraduate education? Too long, difficult to monitor.
Support marginalized students to complete vocational schools? Help students but not communities
Support marginalized students to complete secondary schools? Government’s responsibility.
Support for MA degree study in an international environment? Higher pay off. We want more members of disadvantaged communities like us to have what we now have and to come back to their communities? YES!

3. Had access to information about the IFP
Support more people of the same target group, who are socially committed
and possess academic qualifications, to obtain graduate study abroad.
Many scholarship programs are available in Vietnam today,
Why are members of underrepresented communities still left out?
Reflect on our own experience:
Being socially committed and having academic
credentials and ability was not enough.
What had happened that enabled us to have the IFP experience?
Had access to information about the IFP
Was able to study English language before competing
Received guidance on how to complete IFP application.

4. To continue the IFP legacy in Vietnam
What are available resource and opportunities?
Existing pool of
potential candidates
- Scholarship programs
available to Vietnamese citizens
and seeking similar target population
English language programs
can be designed.
