Profile vs Application – Navigating the Online Portal
Completing a profile and submitting your application are two different steps that both need to be done before your application will be considered. Not sure if you did both? Let’s clear things up!
Creating a Profile:
Enter your personal details: date of birth, address, employment, college and banking information.
Accurate information is important for grant approval. Please double-check all details before submitting.
Starting Your Application:
After creating your profile, a prompt to create an application will appear. If you would like to start your application later, click ‘My Applications’ and the Blue “Create New Application” button in the top right corner to proceed.
Select the correct application type based on your situation:
ECE: Those who have previous employment in an early years setting and are enrolled in an ECE Diploma Program.
Leadership: For RECE professionals with 2 years of experience who will remain employed while studying part-time in an eligible program.
How to Complete and Submit Your Application:
Your personal details, like name and address will be pre-filled from information entered during your profile creation.
Provide additional details and upload necessary documents using the document uploader.
Click ‘Next’, ‘Submit’ and ‘Confirm’.
Follow Up: Your application status will be displayed as “submitted,” indicating that we have successfully received it. Your status will remain until our team reviews and updates your application. If you’d like further confirmation, feel free to call or email us, and we’ll be happy to verify it for you.
Multiple submissions will delay processing times. If an error is made once you’ve submitted your application, you can always edit your application with the corrections.
