    What this campaign covers

    This is a filing campaign, not a lottery. You file federal, state, and college forms, then private sponsor forms, then you verify, report, and renew. It does not pick colleges for you, teach essay craft, or plan loans.

    Run it two ways:

    • Junior start (spring junior – spring senior): map sources now, build the kit over summer, file on the earliest priority date in fall, run local awards through spring.
    • Senior sprint (fall – spring): do the first five steps in one week, then join the same filing day.

    Record the case once here. Every later step reads these values.
