How the application form works

Saving

The application form does not autosave. You will need to press the save button regularly to avoid losing your progress. You can save your responses and come back to them later.

Tables

You can add more rows to a table by clicking [ + ] on the right-hand side of the table, and remove rows (empty or not) by clicking [ - ].

Word limits

Some text boxes have word limits. You will not be able to submit your application until your response is below the word limit for that question. SmartyGrants will tell you if you've gone over.
