I just don't really agree with these people asking others to pay  their debts. And what  happens if they leave religious life.  Are those benefactors repaid. I think it's a worrying trend.

As someone who has paid at least once, I can tell you when they leave they don't pay you back. I don't even think I was thanked. It doesn't matter though because at the time I was doing what I thought was right. I would like to think that the person intended to persevere but for whatever reason they discerned out.

I think I read you need to repay if you leave order but I'm not sure how that is done. I remember reading about a woman who wanted to enter an order in NYC but had a lot of debt. She needed to have it repaid and a "go fund me" helped and others. She left after a year (order thought it best, not her) but I do wonder with some people not always being "perfect" if they would take advantage of charities. I assume (hopefully not wrong) there are contingencies with those payments.

That is why the Laboure Society and Mater Ecclesia are so good. The Laboure Society actually makes the candidates do quite a bit of work before qualifying for payments. Maybe Mater Ecclesia does, too, but I don't know. Both only make the monthly payment while the person is in the religious community and pay it in full at final profession. I don't know of any community that has not accepted this arrangement. I guess someone could take advantage of these charities and tough it out just for the sake of the student loan payments, but I highly doubt it.  

On the other hand "Go Fund Me" is not really contingent on anything, and if they leave a community for valid reasons, they can face a lot of guilt for large good faith donations that they are not in a position to be able to repay. So, it's a losing situation for someone like that.
