NB! The application has been updated.

The scholarship application process is being handled through a new software platform. The application is generally the same, yet there are several important changes. As a first step, you will create a user account. This will enable you to stop and save your application at any point and return to it later to complete and submit it. You are able to view and familiarize yourself with the application before the submission window opens.

For applicants from outside the United States, please note that the application window will be open for two weeks and all applications submitted before the deadline will be considered. Unlike in prior years, the window for submitting your application will stay open for the entire two-week period regardless of the number of applications received.
