The Educational Trusts Committee administers the legacy trusts for educational grants for lay and clergy. These trusts were left by faithful people to help fund the ongoing Christian education and formation of the people of our diocese. Each trust provides funding for different constituents such as ordination candidates, clergy, and lay leaders, and are intended to facilitate the formation of the members of the church for their many and varied ministries.

If you would like to apply, please download the appropriate application. If you are unsure which application to use, email the Chair of ETC, jreplogle@bc.anglican.ca.
