Application windows & deadlines
Many schemes accept applications only in certain months. This page shows when each window usually opens, month by month, and adds an exact closing date only when we have confirmed it recently.
Dates change every year. A closing date appears only if it was verified in the last 60 days and has not yet passed; otherwise you will see the usual pattern. Always confirm on the official portal before you apply. This is a starter list and grows as we verify more schemes.
