On the Grants Academy application form there is a section at the end where your DD R&E (or equivalent) is required to sign, to show that they support your application.
Applicants can either:
- submit a hard copy, with signature, to the RDU
- submit via email a scanned version of your application (with signature)
- or, if you are submitting a version without a signature, we will need an accompanying email from your DD R&E (or equivalent), confirming that they are in support of your application.
Please note: An individual can scan their own signature, using the Ricoh printers, then save this signature as a bmp or gif file. This can then be inserted into the document.
Any questions? Please contact Caroline O’Kane
