Applications are now open!

Please go to https://cylc-dfw.org/application to start the Step 1 process. Remember, once you fill out the Step 1 Google form, you should receive a copy of your submitted form to confirm submission in your email inbox (if you do not receive that, either it did not submit correctly or you had an incorrect email--either way try again!). Please wait until you receive an email from [email protected]. That email will either inform you of acceptance and steps to complete the Step 2, or inform you of placement on the waitlist!

Do use a parent email when you apply!
