Application form questions
The application form asks 40 questions about your organisation and proposal. Please give yourself enough time to work through each one. You may find it helpful to print off the questions as a Word document and draft your questions before entering the online application form.
The online application form does not recognise bullet points or other formatting. You should also make sure that your answers are within the stated character limits for each question - including spaces between words - because the online form will not accept answers that exceed these stated limits.
All entries of the online application form will be saved in case you need to gather more information and come back to complete the form at a later date.
