The average waiting time for the processing of grant applications varies between the 66 awarding bodies depending on a number of variables including the volume of applications received, staffing resources and whether or not properly completed application forms have been received. The process of assessing applications for the current academic year is on-going in the grant awarding authorities with a view to completing it as soon as possible.
