Make sure to purchase the right ticket for the application you wish to submit. You must have your own laptop computer and bring it with you to the Bootcamp.

The Bootcamp will include the following activities:

• Application Review
• Application Checklist
• Resource Identification

You will leave the session with a large portion of your application outlined, but you will still need to spend time to complete it. To ensure you do this, all participants will get weekly status calls and updates to address any concerns prior to the application submission date.

We have a lot of information to cover so plan to arrive 15 minutes before your session is to start.
