If you've applied online you will get an email with your offer on 16 April 2024.
You can apply online from 6 November 2023 until the deadline at midnight on 15 January 2024. The system will then close for a short period after this date and time and then reopen to accept late applications.
Free internet access is available at all Derbyshire libraries and children's centres. Some schools may also let you apply online using their computers.
The online application form will enable you to make your application and send it to us immediately. You'll receive confirmation that your application has been received. Even after you've made your application you'll be able to come back and make amendments at any time up until the deadline.
The advantages of making your application online are that you have the assurance that your application has been received and you'll also be able to keep a record of the application you made.
When you apply online, you'll need to give a username and password. Online applications will be issued with a unique identification number. Please make a note of these details.
Why apply online
We prefer you to apply online:
- it's quick and easy to do
- it's secure - only you can see your information
- the system helps you by checking for errors before you submit your application
- the application procedure is easy to follow as you are guided through the application process
- you can save your unfinished application and complete it at a later date
- you can change your application at any time until the deadline
- we'll confirm the application has been received
- you can view your application at any time
- you will not have to post anything to us - saving you the cost of a stamp
- the environment benefits from a reduction in the use of paper forms and envelopes
