Priorities

Financial support can only be provided within existing budgets, so applications will be dealt with according to the priority levels and the order in which they were received. Should the budget be exhausted, applications that have not yet been approved will remain unfunded until the following year, until supplementary funds are received (which remains unlikely) or until change occurs in the budgetary situation.
