1. Disadvantaged participants monthly top-up grant applies to this participant?: The box is greyed out but if checked, it indicates that your National Agency provides a disadvantage grant top-up.
2. Top Up Opt-In: By default, if the National Agency provides a grant for disadvantaged background, the box Top Up Opt-in is checked.
3. The field Disadvantaged participants monthly top-up is pre-filled with the monthly top-up amount defined by the National Agency and cannot be modified. If the National Agency did not opt in for this type of funding, the value displayed is 0.00 €.
