Yes there is a character limit. An example application depicting the character limit for each of the larger open ended question fields has been posted to the SSSG webpage under the Resources tab. The online application itself doesn't display the specific character limit, but it does stop someone from typing past the character limit. Therefore, it is probably prudent to draft the language in Word to ensure the points you want to get across are clear within the character limit. We want very concise and clear answers without extraneous and superfluous language. We are expecting a large volume of applications and we have limited time to review, contract, and get projects implemented. We want applications that are clear, compelling, and easy to review.
