They are prompted when they've left out any required information, and they are allowed to save their application if they need more time. The process also allows repeat applicants the opportunity to save personal and school information, cutting down on time spent on the administrative portion of the application and allowing more time for the narrative section.The Foundation will accept both paper and online applications for Student Achievement Grants and Learning and Leadership Grants through February 1, 2009, when it will convert to the Web-based system.
