Trust opens its 2019 applications
The Ann Sinclair Charitable Trust, administered by Presbyterian Support Central, aims to support future agriculturalists including farmers, horticulturalists and orchardists by helping with the costs of their tertiary studies.
Applications are now open. Presbyterian Support Central trust administrator Jackie Wierenga explains the aim of the trust is to support young people who need a little extra help to be able to study in their chosen agricultural field.
“Students may need extra assistance due to health or financial concerns, or who would otherwise not readily have access to tertiary study for farming,” said Jackie. “In the past the trust has also allocated grants to particularly worthy recipients to cover the full cost of their tertiary study.”
Ann Sinclair Charitable Trust grants can be used to assist with travel, accommodation and education fees for students living or studying at universities, polytechnics and farm training institutes in the Presbyterian Support Central area — this includes Wellington, Horowhenua, Wairarapa, Manawatu¯ , Whanganui and Taranaki.
The Ann Sinclair Charitable Trust is now taking applications for 2019.
Applications close October 31. Visit www.psc.org.nz/ann-sinclair for more information or to apply.
