Payment of Grant
The value of
the grant varies taking into relevant circumstances for a candidate. There is
an upper limit of $5,000 per annum. The Trust will generally pay the grant
monies to the Scholar in two instalments: 50% at the successful completion of
the first semester, and the remainder at the successful completion of the
second semester.
Should the

the Trustees, then any second or subsequent payments (if these were planned) will
not be made unless there are exceptional circumstances that are accepted by
Trustees.
