Summary of Education Grant Policies

Grants for school-aged students are made to the Education provider on behalf of the student.
Grant funds are to be allocated to school fees first and then any remaining funds can be used to go towards stationery, chrome books and uniforms.
Grants will not exceed the cost for the student attending a school or education provider.
Grants will only be paid once attendance is certified by the education provider. Grant funds will be reconciled by the education provider annually and credit balances refunded to Aotearoa Trust.
Confirmation of attendance and enrolment is required each year. This is generally a letter from the school acknowledging that the student is enrolled for the year and a brief summary of their attendance for the previous year.
