Navigating the Application form:

• You are able to begin anywhere in this application form. Please ensure you save as you go.
• Every screen (page of the form) has a form navigation contents box. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want as it links directly to every page.
• Click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.

Saving the draft application:

• To leave a partially completed application, press 'save' and log out. 
• When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. Reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
• To download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download' button at the bottom of the application navigation panel.

Submitting your application:

• A Review and Submit button is at the bottom of the Navigation Panel so you can review before you submit. 
• To submit, click on ‘Submit’ at the top of the screen or navigation panel.  
• All compulsory questions need to be answered before you are able to submit. 
• Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
• Upon submission, an automated confirmation email along with a copy of your submitted application attached will be sent to the email you registered with SmartyGrants.

If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.

Attachments and Support Documents:

• Attachments can be used to support your application.  Save documents to your computer or storage device prior to uploading. 
• You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.

Completing the application in a group/ team:

• A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.

Spell Check:

• Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
