There is currently no time limit to complete an application. You can leave the page open as long as needed; however, you are encouraged to periodically click "Save and Keep Editing" to protect your work against unexpected interruptions, such as a power loss.

To apply for any scholarship opportunity, you will need to fill out and submit the General Application. After successfully submitting the General Application, you will be matched with scholarships for which you meet the criteria. Then you will have the option to apply for individual scholarships that require additional information. To do so, first locate the desired scholarship by clicking on the "All or "Search" tabs on the "Opportunities" page. Once you have located the scholarship you would like to apply for, click on the "Apply Now" button next to that scholarship, answer the additional questions, and click "Finish and Submit." For some scholarships, you may see "None required" instead of the "Apply Now" button, meaning that you are automatically considered for those scholarships and no further action is required.
