Applications for the Fall cohort semester will open January 2 of each year with a deadline of the last day of April for college students.
Note: Those who are NOT enrolled in a college course degree program and who want to apply to attend this training as a "stand-alone" program will have a deadline of August 20 of each year. In other words, applications will be accepted from January 2 - August 20 of each year for Non-Matriculated applicants.
