Executive Summary
The purpose of the Proposal is to explore the potential of Sinagtala’87 AUFCON
Members to come out of a meaningful project that would help deserving talented nursing
first year students enrolled at AUF College of Nursing per Scholarship Program Model
of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc. with a methodology called “SWREM
Theory In Action”, in commemoration of their 20th Year Reunion, as a legacy of the
success in their nursing career profession in the United States. This project can be linked
as one of the Satellite Scholarship Programs of the Foundation and is proposed to be
officially identified as “CYDFI-Sinagtala’87 AUFCON Satellite Scholarship
Program Model” of which, the proceeding presentation on this paper shall attempt to
demonstrate the soundness of the principle of the “SWREM Theory In Action” as the key
reason for the confidence that the Scholarship Program Model designed by the
Foundation will pave the way for helping to address abject poverty in the Philippine rural
areas. CYDFI sees itself, then, as a “Crusader Against Abject Poverty in the
Philippine Rural Areas”.
Part I of the proposal is a Retrospect of what Calantas Young Dreamers
Foundation, Inc. (CYDFI) is for. As a reader, once you have a full grasp of what the
mission of the Foundation is all about, how it is going to be pursued to accomplish its
mission and understand the far reaching and enduring implications of the methodology
(SWREM Theory In Action), you will see that the Scholarship Program Model
designed by the Foundation has a direction that goes beyond traditional approach of
Scholarship Programs offered and mostly available nowadays. For one, the Scholarship
Program Model of the Foundation is not only helping qualified youths help them help
themselves but are empowered to do the same to help, at least, one or two new incoming
scholars as they learn to become socially responsible and become productive in the
practice of their chosen careers, after their college education. When this Scholarship
Program Model is done on a continuous spiral loop basis, it will lead the Foundation to
have a more self-sustainable program. Other similar model call this “pay-it-forward”.

(3) click on SWREM and Pay-It-Back vs Pay-It-Forward Model.
Part II of the proposal is a discussion on how the Scholarship Program Model of
the Foundation can be replicated. i.e., CYDFI-Sinagtala’87 Satellite Scholarship Program
Model at AUF College of Nursing. Currently, the Scholarship Program Model of the
Foundation is officially being replicated in Benedicto, Floridablanca, Pampanga. Log on
at www.cydf821philipines.com for more information on the CYDFI-Benedicto Satellite
Scholarship Program. Also, an on-going negotiation with a potential sponsor is taking
place to establish another CYDFI Satellite Scholarship Program Model in one of the
barrios of General Santos City in Mindanao, which would pave the way for establishing a
Regional Office of the Calantas Young Dreamers Foundation, Inc, in the said region.
The capacity and power to translate this “Project Proposal” into reality is in your
hands for “when dream becomes a reality, then reality becomes a dream. So, dream a
better dream (a better world) and work hard to make it real.” (Adventures of Sharkboy &
Lavagirl). If the group would like to move on to the next level of translating this proposal
into reality, you may contact us for further discussion of the Project Proposal.
