The Fund must receive a letter from the Registrars' Office of the accredited University, College, Technical or SpecializedSchool indicating your dependants' current full time status at the time these benefits are sought.

Full time student status letters should be submitted to the the Fund by September 10th for the Fall semester and by January 10th for the Spring semester.

You may mail or fax the required proof of full-time status:
