Amstutz Scholarship Application - 2010

Individual applications can not be saved on the application site prior to submission. For example if a student partially completes an application with the idea of returning to the site to complete it at a later time their application will not be saved.

It would be advisable to complete the application as a word document then cut and paste responses into the appropriate sections of the application just prior to submitting. That would also solve the heartbreak of a dropped connection during the application process.

All fields are required, and must be filled in before submitting the application.
