Application Tip #17
What does 'postmarked' mean?
Most of our grants will require that certain components, e.g. a letter of recommendation, be mailed to us. In order to meet the application deadline, it must be postmarked on the deadline date. This means, the letter must have been received (and stamped!) by the post office the latest on that date.
