Donor-funded admission models refer to systems in which funding from external donors—such as governments, international organizations, or philanthropic entities—supports the admission processes of educational institutions, healthcare facilities, or other service providers. These models often aim to enhance access for underserved populations by supplementing or subsidizing traditional funding sources, potentially increasing enrollment, reducing barriers to entry, and promoting social equity.

- Potential for integration with government policies and institutional strategies
Pros

- Fosters international cooperation and resource sharing
Cons
- Dependence on external funding can lead to sustainability challenges
