In May of 2006, O’Shaughnessy Education Foundation Ltd, the administrator of the Students Trust International Plan, acquired the Bermuda Plan, an education savings plan previously administered by Canadian Scholarship Trust. The Bermuda Plan has over $67 million in assets under administration and has been operating since 1989. The Bermuda Plan will be administered by O’Shaughnessy Education Fund separate from the existing Canadian and US Dollar Students Trust International Plans.

The following is a notice to the existing subscribers of the Bermuda Plan:

Earlier this year we conducted a Subscriber vote in order to make changes to the Scholarship Agreement that you entered into with the predecessor administrator, Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation.
