Beneath each application question, guidance text, additional instructions, and insights are provided in text boxes.  \nThe funding application requires users to upload documents to a Google Drive using a Google Form. All applicants MUST have a Google account to successfully apply. You may sign up for a free Google account at [https://mail.google.com/mail/signup](https://mail.google.com/mail/signup).  \nEducators with Google accounts set up through their schools may encounter application issues due to their IT department's security settings. We recommend you speak with your IT department about this potential issue in advance of submitting your proposal. If you will have issues submitting your proposal via your school's Google account, we advise creating a personal Google account to apply to NOAA Planet Stewards.  \nBefore you begin your stewardship project proposal, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND reading through all instructions, and downloading this document as a template to write your application. When you are ready to submit, copy and paste your completed proposal into the online Google application form. The Google application form used to apply is not conducive to editing. It will not save your progress, nor allow you to edit once you have submitted your application. Using this guide as a template will also provide you with a copy of your proposal if there is any error uploading it to the system.  \nMany sections of the Google application form will only accept a certain number of words/characters. We STRONGLY RECOMMEND you write your application in, or  \ncheck the word/character count of each application section using a Google Doc prior to submitting it. Different word processing programs e.g. , MS Word, count words and characters differently than Google Docs. We would not want any part of your proposal to be cut off in submission.  \nThe majority of questions in the first section of the application-Basic Information should not require additional guidance. If you have questions, contact:  \n[Bruce.Moravchik@noaa.gov](Bruce.Moravchik@noaa.gov).  \nSection 1: Basic Information  \n1. First Name  \n2. Last Name  \n3. Primary Email Address  \n4.
