JR McKenzie Youth Education Fund (closes 9 December 2022)

The JR McKenzie Youth Education Fund has a proud tradition of supporting families in need of financial assistance, with the purchasing of a school uniform. Applications close 9 December 2022.

As such, we are pleased to invite grant applications from suitable candidates sponsored by your Club, Organisation or School for uniforms for the 2023 school year. The closing date for applications is Friday 9 December 2022. Late applications will be considered on
a case-by-case basis.

Please find attached a copy of the application form.

Our criteria allow for applications from those students entering High School, College
and Intermediate for the first time.

Applications will only be considered for families requiring financial assistance,
and in this regard, it must be signed by an independent sponsor before an
application is returned to us. The sponsor should be an organisation that is
familiar with the applicant’s circumstances (i.e. school, social service agency,
Budget Advisory Service etc). Applications outside the above criteria will not be considered.

Grants must be for the purchase of basic school clothing and footwear only [excluding
roadshoes/runners/stationery/school bags]. This particular aspect will be made
clear on purchase orders to assist retailers and other suppliers. The JR McKenzie
Youth Education Trust will not accept responsibility for any other merchandise
purchased. Please note if the application is for a uniform for the 2023 school year, applications will not be considered until after December 9th and purchase orders will be sent to successful applicants before Xmas 2022.

Also note that if a student has been a previous recipient of a JR McKenzie uniform
grant, they will not be eligible for additional or future uniform grants. 

Parents / Guardians of any unsuccessful applications will also be advised in writing.
As usual, a random sample of recipient families may be contacted directly by my
committee members with the intention of ascertaining their needs to assist us in
future years.

Please ensure applications are properly completed, including the signing of the
application by a sponsor, and forwarded to the above email address prior to the
closing date, Friday 9 December 2022.
Thank you for all your hard work on behalf of the JR McKenzie Trust.
