  2. You will be prompted to complete a general and college-specific application, which automatically applies you for scholarships for which you qualify.
  3. In some cases (not all), you may be recommended to apply to scholarships that require additional information.
  4. After you complete the applications by your college’s posted deadline, you are done!
