You can view sample student applications. You can add requirements such as a supplemental application form and collect your own unique information but please do not request duplicate information as this is inefficient and can be confusing to students.

You can save the applications as pdf documents either individually or as a batch and print or distribute them electronically.

While you can add pdf documents and additional application requirements to the SAFE application, we encourage you to first review the SAFE sample applications. If additional information from the students is needed, we urge you to make sure your application does not collect redundant information as this causes frustration and confusion from students.

Undergraduate recommenders may upload letters of recommendation in SAFE.

Undergraduate advisors for senior thesis research must address the advisor questions in the SAFE form.

Recommenders for graduate students applying to internships, conferences, or research may upload a letter.

While a student is working on an application, he/she can save it without submitting it. After a student submits an application in SAFE, it is locked. When an application is locked, funders can be sure that it is final and there are not going to be any major changes. Students action on locked applications is limited to uploading additional documents, adding funding sources, and entering text into a "project changes" field. In addition, locking triggers notification to recommenders, evaluators and advisers to prompt their review and submission of approval and feedback. 

Funders should not award projects until they are locked.
