<p>Do you have to be a junior to apply? And does anybody know when it is usually available to apply to? Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, you have to be a junior. Applications are up now and the deadline is May 1. Its a really incredible scholarship and I highly recommend applying to it!!</p>
<p>Has anyone tried to contact them with a question? Were they prompt in responding?</p>
<p>Is becoming a semi-finalist mostly just based on your activities, or your essay?</p>
<p>There’s no space for ACT/SAT scores or course rigor T.T my strong point is academics and it’s not gonna be represented very well. wonder if that was intentional</p>
