The Educational Assistance Plan (EAP), an ASI project managed by OCI, aids children of OCI institutional staff and mission-driven students in furthering their education. Project funds will go towards educating supporting missionaries’ children for future mission service. Following their education, these students are urged to serve with an OCI ministry. The EAP contributes significantly to staff retention in the long term. Applicants undergo thorough screening to ensure a high return on investment.
