How to Apply

As of October 2011, the Trust has revised its application deadlines, so that the two Divisions (Health Care and Poor and Needy) will have the same two application deadlines each year. This will not impact the application process, but it will impact the timing of applicants’ interaction with the Trust prior to applying.

The following table details the new timeline of the application process for applicants in both divisions. For more information about the deadline change, please read this letter from our President and Division Directors.
