Let me tell you something:
As Prospective Applicants, it’s natural to wonder on how to get started or the Requirements, Timeline, of the application process or what a Mid-year checkpoint is? If you head to the JSPF website, you can find everything you need to know under the Prospective Applicants section.
Once you familiarise yourself with the process of application, it is important for you to have a checklist of all the documents that you will need to submit as a part of your application.
Incase of limited internet or no laptop/computer you can also find resources in the Final Applicants section.
