Section 530.600  Review of Applications

a)         The grant cycle runs from July 1-June 30 of the State's fiscal year.

b)         The Department will review applications for compliance with the requirements of this Part.  During the course of its review, the Department may contact the applicant for additional information if the information provided is incomplete, inconsistent or unclear.

c)         Applicants whom the Department determines not to be eligible for grant funds will be notified by e-mail.

d)         Distribution of grants is dependent on available funding.  Available grant funds will be distributed on a "first come, first served" basis, based on when the Department received the completed application.  If the Department receives several completed applications on the same date and time and funds are not available to award each of these applicants, a random selection of applications will be used to determine grant recipients.

e)         Applicants shall submit a new application each State fiscal year to be considered for funding.  Applications are only applicable to the State fiscal year in which the applications are received.
