How it works
The first step in the online application is to check if you are eligible. If eligible, you will continue the application process. After you submit your application, your information will be assessed. If you meet certain conditions, you will receive a two-month subsidy while we assess your application.
You can apply using a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.
