Zakah on income : paying Zakah on money given by non-Muslim grand-mother

Fatawa Question

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I have been given a large sum of money by my late non-Muslim grandmother to use for university and graduate school. The money is held in a trust. I do not have control over the money until I turn 30 years old. The current trustees who do control and manage the money are not Muslim. I do have access to the money for school-or medical-related expenses. I am currently a student and do use some of the money to pay for some expenses each semester. Do I need to pay zakat on this money ? Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your constant help.
