Stedman Foundation Privacy Policy.

Any student who has previously received a bursary from the Stedman Foundation is
deemed to be eligible, subject to a total of 4 Bursaries.

Only those applications received or postmarked by April 30th will be considered.

Applications must be completed in full.

Applications not completed in full will not be considered.

Note

Final decision on awards will be made by the Directors of the Samuel W. Stedman Foundation. The
total number of awards will be determined annually by the Directors of the Foundation.

All candidates will be advised of the outcome of their application not later than August 1st. Those
candidates who are granted a bursary will receive a confirmation letter. Should the candidate wish
to receive the bursary, an acceptance form must be signed, mailed to the Foundation with postmark
prior to the date specified on the form for the bursary to be granted. Failure to do so by the
prescribed date will result in the bursary not being granted.

The Foundation reserves the right to reduce or cancel any Award.

Funds are sent directly to the successful candidate’s educational institution.

Success or failure to obtain a bursary does not restrict a student from applying for a bursary in
subsequent years.
