DYA Candidate Registration Form

Completing and Submitting your DYA CRF

To submit a Youth Scotland Award we require you to fill in a Candidate Registration Form (CRF). This form must be completed and returned when your awards are ready to be submitted for certification. All the information requested is necessary. This provides full candidate and organisation details. If you are submitting more than 40 awards you should complete additional CRFs. Please do not try to add candidates beyond the maximum of 40 on a single form. This breaks the functionality of the form and you will need to re-submit.

To help you fill in the CRF please refer to the guide below:
