Key dates: when applications open and the application window

When does the 2026-27 application go live?

Applications are scheduled to open on 1st July 2026. You don't need to do anything to “unlock” the form — once the window opens, the registration and application options become active automatically.


You can always see the current state of the application on the Platform. The status appears in three places — the home page, the scholarship details page, and your dashboard — and will read one of:


- Upcoming — the window hasn't opened yet. Use this time to check your eligibility and get your documents ready.

- Open — applications are being accepted. You can register and apply.

- Closed — the window has ended and new applications are no longer accepted.


What is the application window?

The window is planned to run from 1st July to 15th August 2026 — about 45 days. Because dates can change, always check the Platform for the confirmed start and end dates rather than relying on a remembered date.


Tip: don't wait until the last day. Applying early leaves you time to fix any document or detail issues well before the deadline.
