Before signing up to Student Education Trust, May Kepple often found it stressful to find money for bills and educational items for her three grandchildren.
‘I signed up to SET to take the stress out of paying for all the school things the kids need’, said May.
‘It is so much easier when the bills come in and I know I have money in SET to pay for things. Now I’m helping my family to achieve great things, like my granddaughter [Kym] going overseas for sport.’
Kym is an avid netballer and will join her school team to compete in a competition in the United Kingdom later in the year.
May was able to use the funds in Kym’s education trust to pay the deposit for the trip.
A key objective for Student Education Trust is for parents to internalise the importance of spending money on their children’s education which includes ensuring they can participate in extra-curricular activities.
May’s story exemplifies how Student Education Trust is supporting families to achieve this goal.
