Awards may be given for multiple years, but must be renewed each year. Applications for Spring 2007 must be received by July 15^th, 2006 to be considered. Applications should be sent to the chair at the address, fax or email given below. Use of email is preferred in order to ensure that documents arrive before the deadline. Emailed documents must be sent as PDF files, WORD documents, or JPEG images. The application forms are available on line at www.huscroft.ca.

The responsibility of making award recommendations is the role of the Advisory Board. Current Advisory Board members are John Huscroft, Patricia Huscroft, Dot Rathgeber, and Dawn Sommerfeld. If you have any questions, please contact one of the Advisory Board members. Over the coming months I will look forward to receiving applications for Spring 2006 awards.

In order to provide more timely communication and eliminate the cost of postage, we have moved to email distribution and internet posting of all letters from the Huscroft Educational Trust. Family Update Letters are posted on the internet at www.huscroft.ca. If you wish to receive an email copy of these letters, please email me with your contact information. Also please remember to inform us about changes of address or new additions to the family so that we can keep our records of the Huscroft Beneficiary Group current. Thank you for your assistance.
