Once you have reviewed your application, you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel.
IMPORTANT: Any question marked with an asterisk ('*') is mandatory. Failure to answer any of these questions will stop you from being able to complete and submit your application form.

When you submit your application form, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email address that you used to register with SmartyGrants.

ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

You will need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however files up to a maximum of 5MB are recommended - the larger the file, the longer it takes to attach.
