FCSS grant year updated to 2026
The page now shows the 2026 funding year, and the application deadline has moved from October 31, 2025 to October 31, 2026. The funded-program lists were also refreshed for 2026, and the page content now includes a new Strathmore Forward section alongside the grant information.
