Tech Tips

All applicants have the ability to save an application and return to it at any time up until the deadline. Please use these tech tips to avoid encountering any saving errors:

1) Make sure you are on the latest version of the Google Chrome browser.

2) Fill out *all required fields* (text boxes and drop-down menus) in some capacity in order to save your progress. You can simply write “hold text” in text boxes and/or choose placeholder selections from the drop-down menus until you are ready to enter your answers.

3) If you would like to work on your application offline, you may download the application form as a Word document here.** Some applicants like to prep answers in the Word document in advance and then copy and paste them into the application portal online when they are ready to submit.

**If for any reason you are unable to access/submit your application using the online portal, you may complete your application in the Word document and submit it by email with all mandatory Supporting Documents by the application deadline of Friday, November 26 at 3:00pm EST.
