# Recipient Application

Contributors must complete an application to receive funding. Contributors who submitted their own project continue directly to the application steps; contributors nominated by a Scout receive an email notification inviting them to apply through the Glow platform.

## Completing Your Application

Whether you applied directly or were nominated by a Scout, you complete your application through the Glow platform.

### Application Steps

The application process consists of several required steps, completed in sequence:

1. **Account Creation:** Create an account or log in with existing credentials.
2. **Terms and Documentation:** Review and accept the [Terms of Service](/documents/terms-of-service.md) and [Code of Conduct](/documents/code-of-conduct.md).
3. **Eligibility Confirmation:** Complete a questionnaire covering:
   * Age verification (must be 18+)
   * Location check (not in sanctioned regions)
   * Sanctions list verification
   * Employment disclosure (disclose if employed by Ripple or an affiliated organization)
   * Status check (not currently a Scout or Judge)
   * Funding verification (work was not previously funded)
4. **Wallet Registration:** Connect an XRPL wallet using supported providers (Xaman, GemWallet, Crossmark).
5. **Application Information:** Submit additional details:
   * Previous XRPL Grants participation (Yes/No)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://glow-docs.xrpl-commons.org/program-information/key-processes/recipient-application.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
