If an applicant is not able to qualify on their own to apply to the MPNP (ex. With the support letter of a friend or family member), they can apply to our initiative for a support letter. We choose approximately 50 families per year to be supported by our program. This is typically approximately 5% of applications received.

Step 2: Apply
Step 3: If you are chosen for MCDII, you will be given a support letter and/or an invitation for an exploratory visit
