Tuition Assistance Program

Application forms for the Tuition Assistance Program

We must receive and approve two different forms before you may begin a course funded by the Tuition Assistance Program:

  • Tuition Assistance Program Application Form
  • Tuition Assistance Program School Information Form


Application Form

First, you must complete and send us a Tuition Assistance Program Application Form to find out whether you are eligible for Tuition Assistance Program funding.

The application form is available for download in either PDF or MS Word format.

If you are not able to download or print the form, please call the Community Development Trust toll free at 1-877-238-8882 and we will arrange for you to receive a copy.

In addition to information such as your name, address and birth date, you will need the following information to apply:
  • Your social insurance number
  • The date you started working in the forest sector
  • The name of your employer and their contact information
  • Your job title
  • When you were laid-off
Along with your application, please send us copies of any documents you have that confirm this information. These may include your Record of Employment (ROE), layoff notice, Canada Revenue Agency T4 slips, a T1 form with business activities statement, contracts, and/or correspondence showing your employment history.

When complete, please mail your application along with copies of supporting documentation to:

Community Development Trust
PO Box 9595 Stn Prov Govt
Victoria, BC V8W 9K4

If we find that you meet the program’s criteria, we will then send you a letter of eligibility to take to your school’s Financial Aid and Awards Office.

School Information Form

Once you have registered for your course(s) and the School Information Form is completed by the Financial Aid and Awards Office, all original documents need to be sent to us. If the information is complete and accurate, it will take from ten to 15 business days for a cheque to be issued. Please make sure you allow enough time for your information to be processed and for the payment to be received by the school, before your course begins. The Tuition Assistance Program School Information Form is available for download in either PDF or MS Word format.
