How we check these listings

Every listing comes from the funder's own website (or official guidelines), checked on the date shown. We list only programs that are open now or have a published opening date. If a page doesn't say the amount, we write "See funder site" instead of guessing. Deadlines can change, so always confirm on the official page before you apply. Spotted something out of date?
