Spend a reasonable amount of time on your application because if funds are awarded you will be pleased and probably very surprised when your advised its a grant and non returnable. How many conventional banks offer free money?
The nature of the awarded funding will determine whether it’s to be paid back. Grants are not the easiest to secure but it can and is done daily. Millions of applications are received on a yearly basis and most are rejected through bad or poorly prepared applications, from the awarding bodies point of view why would money be allocated to an individual or business that cant complete an application correctly?
