Most awards (Outreach) are offered proactively to top board scorers without an application, while Master's-level and Special Quota awards are applied for through partner institutions.

Deadline: Outreach awards are proactive, with no application window. Partner universities advertise their own deadlines for Master's-level and Special Quota forms.
