LSC may consider a request to submit
a Pre-Application after the deadline, but
only if the Applicant has submitted an
email to probonoinnovation@lsc.gov
explaining the circumstances that
caused the delay prior to the PreApplication deadline. Communication
with LSC staff, including assigned LSC

substitute for sending a formal request

consider incomplete applications. LSC
will determine the admissibility of late
or incomplete applications on a case-bycase basis.
