Grants for 2025 National Science Week engagement activities
Application form – Mandatory attachments
The National Science Week Grants 2025 application form is experiencing an issue with the attachments section under the Application Finalisation tab. The issue is impacting the following two upload fields:
- Trust Deed
- Letter of support from an Elder, Traditional Owner or land council.
These two upload fields are incorrectly showing as mandatory for all applicants, and the application cannot be submitted unless a document is uploaded.
In circumstances where you are not a Trustee applying on behalf of a Trust or do not have a letter of support from an Elder, Traditional Owner or land council, we are advising that a placeholder document be attached in these two upload fields that states there is no document required for the given field. This workaround will ensure your draft application can be submitted.
