However, short-term staff, consultants, casual staff, research fellows, NYSC members, and IT students are ineligible. Previous recipients from the past two years are also ineligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For eligible staff, the maximum grant limit per person or group will be US$4000, which would cover course fees, travel, and accommodation related to training where applicable. Therefore, applications exceeding $4,000 must be indicated in the application. The grant must be used in 2019 as it is not transferrable.
