Application deadlines

We currently award funding on a quarterly basis.  All applications are reviewed and considered, but only those that we feel closely align with our aims and objectives will be shortlisted.  We aim to respond to your Stage 1 application within two weeks of submission.  If you are successfully shortlisted we will invite you to complete the Stage 2 application form.

You can submit your initial (Stage 1) online application form to us at any time, but we provide advisory deadlines to help you plan ahead.  The Stage 1 deadline is an advisory date, which allows enough lead time for us to review your application and, if successful, then gives you sufficient time to complete your Stage 2 application form by the deadline date.  So, although your form does not have to be in by the Stage 1 advisory date, if it is more than a few days late, you will compromise your ability to complete your Stage 2 application in time (if invited).

Please consider when you’d like your funding to start and use the dates below to work out when you should apply by.

9am Thursday 1 March 2012  Stage 2 application forms to be submitted for consideration.
