The first step in applying to the program is to fill out the online application. This usually takes two to three hours to complete.

Part of the application collects personal information that we can use to conduct a background check, credit check, and motor vehicle record check. Credit scores are an important factor, so we encourage you to be familiar with your credit score prior to applying.

If you’re interested in applying for a diversity grant, please answer those optional questions in the financial section of the application.
