What things should CIS money not be used for?
CIS money should not be used by participants to send money home to family members. It should not be used to invest and/or save for post graduation. And CIS money should not be used to purchase expensive and otherwise unnecessary luxury items (such as pianos, palm pilots, etc.). Since participants are responsible for repaying all of the borrowed CIS loans, we strongly encourage CIS participants to live as frugally as possibly in order to leave the MSM with the least possible debt.
