Grants and Eligibility Criteria
Grant eligibility criteria can vary depending on the applicant’s role and minimum program qualifications enforced by the provider. These conditions are implemented to ensure grants are rewarded to those applicants that are most qualified and have objectives that closely align with the program selection criteria.
Failing to meet one or more of the grant selection criteria may lead to your application being rejected for that particular program. If you have found yourself in a situation where you are considered ineligible due to factors governing the program selection criteria, please don’t loose hope as there are alternate avenues you can approach to receive assistance.
