Common questions

Do I really not pay it back?

Correct — a grant is non-repayable. Many schemes are match-funded though, meaning the grant covers a percentage of the project cost and you fund the rest.

What are my chances?

Far better when you only apply to schemes you're genuinely eligible for. That's exactly what the matching step is for.

How long does it take?

Anything from a few weeks to several months depending on the scheme, so it pays to line grants up before you need the money.
