Applications must be submitted by March 29, 2021, for paper copies, and by March 22, 2021, for electronic submissions.

They need everyone to follow different rules for sending in their forms, like making sure you use the phone or the computer by certain days, but some of the rules are a bit tricky and might confuse people.
