Important Notes
- Reapplying: If you have been accepted as an LS-NSSA scholar previously, do not reapply unless four or more years have passed, as scholar status is retained across multiple academic years.
- Await Notification: Once your application has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. We will contact you to inform you whether your application has been accepted.
