You can defer your application to the next round if you need to.

You can do this yourself if the scheme you’re applying to:

  • has multiple rounds
  • doesn’t have a preliminary application stage.

To defer your application, log on to Grant Tracker once the deadline for the current round has passed. Find and select your application, then click the ‘Re-Apply’ button to defer it.

If the scheme you’re applying to has a preliminary application stage, contact us – we’ll defer your application for you.
