- Send us your name and full contact info.
- Give us a brief rundown of your anticipated costs, other sources of funding that you have already applied for, and monies already granted if applicable.

As with other funding sources, if a subsidy is granted, we would expect a short report/evaluation of your participation at the School within 4 weeks after the event, especially if you’ve already acted on what you had planned to do with this info.
