SCORE Program - How to Apply

Click the button below (Go to secure application form) to begin your online application. You can save your online application and access it any time up until you are ready to submit. Note that the $200 standard application fee will be waived at application submittal.

The online application via SlideRoom provides all the information required for department reviewers to evaluate your application. There are specific links within the portal which allow you to inform your recommenders to submit their letters of recommendation on your behalf.
