Creating a profile

The Granting Eligibility tab is where you will find the applicant profile forms and any applicant profiles that you have previously attested to. Completing these forms is necessary, as certain funding opportunities require that you have an active applicant profile. You can attest to applicant profiles in those forms or be prompted to do so while applying for funding.

  1. Access the Granting Eligibility tab on your My Account screen.
  2. Click the Select/Update Applicant Profile button.
  3. Complete the Applicant Profile form with the necessary details. You must read the profile eligibility criteria and attest that you are eligible for the one you are choosing. Click the Add Profile button.
  4. Review any previously attested profiles and update them if needed.
  5. Save the form by clicking the Complete button.

Note: You can select a profile before applying or during the application process. Your profile will be subject to an eligibility review.
