Application Tips:
Cross-check your application against the NEA Review Criteria. Do not assume reviewers know your program or community. Proofread your application: check spelling, grammar, and
math, and have someone else read your application. Draft narrative responses in a word processing document to
avoid exceeding word / character limits. Use clear, concise language and get to the point. Be sure your budget reflects your narrative.
