Applications are declined if:
- The eligibility criteria is not met
- If you have already received an award from the scheme, or another scheme run by the same organisation
- The organisation determined the application didn't fit the current criteria, or for any other reason at their discretion
If your application has been declined, most organisations will provide a reason for the decision. Please check the Communications tab for further details or specific feedback regarding your application.
If you feel your application was declined incorrectly, here is how you can request a review or take further action:
Contest the decision
If you believe your application was declined in error, you have the ability to contest the decision. This will flag your submission for a formal second review by the organization to ensure all details were considered fairly.
Submit a New Application
If you realized that the information provided in your original application was inaccurate or incomplete, we recommend starting a new application. This allows you to provide the correct details and ensures the organisation has the most up-to-date information for their assessment.
Contact the Organisation
Since the final decision rests with the awarding body, any specific questions regarding your feedback or the decline reason should be directed to the organisation itself.
