"Support for Scientific "Creolephony" must prioritize:

- Participation within the framework of academic and scientific personnel who teach, develop or promote the Creole language;
- Participation in international Creolephony networks and programs;
- Scholarships that encourage research and scientific exchanges in Creole language;
- Scientific Prizes to encourage production in Creole language such as bachelor's, master's and doctoral dissertations.

The MENFP, in collaboration with the National Education Fund (FNE), will begin with an initial allocation of 500,000 gourdes. This money will make it possible to finance planned activities, such as rewarding students who complete a dissertation or thesis in Creole according to criteria that KONASTI will have to set based on academic excellence in the writing of the work, the relevance of the subject for the transformation of Haiti, contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the field and all other necessary criteria.
