HUSCROFT
EDUCATIONAL TRUST
Applications
for the Huscroft Educational Trust Awards will be reviewed twice a year by the
Advisory Board and recipients will be determined at that time. Awards are
typically for one year of support and two payments, unless the degree or
diploma sought requires less than a year of study. Students intending to start school in the fall should submit
applications to the Board by July 15 of the same year in order to receive a
first payment in September. Students
intending to start school in the spring should submit applications to the Board
by January 15 of the same year in order to receive a first payment in
March. It is now the intention of
the Board to consider applications as late as possible before classes
begin. Note that this is a
change from how applications have been considered prior to 2006.
Students
who would like to apply earlier are welcome to submit their applications six
months earlier at the prior application deadline. Such early applications are preferred as they allow the
Advisory Board to more easily project financial needs. Later applicants may encounter more
competition for funding. Since such early awards are
typically made before a student completes prerequisite high school courses and
gains admittance to a post secondary institution, these early awards are
subject to the recipient submitting acceptable final prerequisite high school
marks and a letter of admittance when they become available and prior to the
subsequent application deadline.
Initial
Application Form:
Used by a first time applicant, typically someone completing high school.
Renewal
Application Form: Used by a recipient, typically someone
at university, to request a subsequent year of support.
Payment
Request Form: Used
by recipient to request payment already awarded and to provide prerequisite
marks and/or proof of admittance when requesting such payment and to provide
banking information to allow wire transfer of funds.
