Everyone I know needs to get one this year and then *not* apply two years from now, so I have a chance in hell. ;) <BR/><BR/>The Indiana Arts Commission one is totally online now too, and it's complicated enough!Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13502106.post-54370299739232617922008-02-15T13:59:00.000-05:002008-02-15T13:59:00.000-05:00I did it, but I got my husband to help, and I trie...I did it, but I got my husband to help, and I tried to do it from my old non-Vista desktop, since Vista kept sending me weird warning messages.

I had to print out the 20 some pages and read through every single line, highlighting important parts. However, almost everything is going online now -- I got some help from our college's grant office. Does your college have some kind of support?Karen J.
