The platform looks at this information, as well as how you answered our generation application questions, to determine addition awards (opportunities) you could apply for. This usually means answering more questions.

The portal will alert you:

• when an application period is open
• if it thinks you are eligible for additional opportunities
• what questions you need to answer to be considered. 

You'll receive an email the week the application period opens. You'll also see these alerts when you login to the award portal.
