Additional Information Applications for the national High School (HS), Community College Transfer (CCT) and College (CSP) scholarship programs, as well as the Gates Millennium Scholars program are available on our website starting August 1. Please note that each program has its own deadline. A few of our programs are renewable, but most are just single year awards. We do, however, encourage you to apply to HSF each year as last year’s awardees are given a slight scoring advantage over other applicants. HSF wants to do everything it can to award a student over multiple years.
