HUSCROFT EDUCATIONAL TRUST
Any new additions to the family should be made known to the Advisory
Board as soon as possible, for the Huscroft Educational Trust must report all
beneficiaries to Revenue Canada each year.
During the year that they turn 17, future beneficiaries should formally report
their SIN (or equivalent foreign tax number) to the Advisory board using a beneficiary
registration form. Subsequent applications
for Awards will only be considered if a beneficiary has been properly
registered at least one year prior, so that Revenue Canada beneficiary reporting
requirements are met, such that the Huscroft Educational Trust will not incur
penalties.
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 the intention of the Board
to consider applications as late as possible before classes begin.
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.
Beneficiary Registration Form: Used to register a person as a beneficiary so that future awards can be made.
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.
