Apply before the deadline
Do not treat the final day as your target. Prepare supporting documents early and submit while there is time to fix missing uploads or portal problems.
Verify before sending documents
A legitimate listing should lead to a recognisable provider, university, government department or official application system. Be especially cautious when asked to pay an application fee to an unknown third party.
Sources and verification
Dates, eligibility, funding and application rules can change. Re-check the provider or government source before applying.
