Managing your time when preparing an application

You should give yourself plenty of time to prepare for submitting your application.

This is so you have enough time to make the best possible application that you can.

Download the application form from your Online Services account as early as possible so that you can get familiar with it.

Make sure to check that:

You are applying for the right scheme
You have downloaded the correct application form
Your application meets the criteria set out in the scheme’s guidelines
You have enough time to complete all the application tasks before the deadline.

You should upload your application to the Online Services funding portal at least 48 hours before the deadline.

That way, if you have any technical difficulties, you will have time to contact us to help you.

Note: Online Services often has heavy traffic on the final afternoon of the closing date and your documents may take much longer than usual to upload. This may cause uploading your documents to take much longer than usual. In general, the earlier you can submit your application, the better.
