COMPLETE THE APPLICATION

Once the student has completed the orientation and is ready to apply, you may complete the application. You will be given the application at the orientation. Remember, the student must be the one that decides to apply.

SUBMIT YOUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

Once the application is completed, you will begin submitting all of the student's supporting documents. A list of these documents will be given at the orientation. This step includes submitting documents that are required to validate an applicant's eligibility for the program.

APPLICANT INTERVIEW

Once a student has completed the application and has begun submitting documents, a staff member will reach out and schedule a one-on-one interview. Interviews typically last up to one hour long.

ATTEND ALL FUTURE ROLL CALLS

Roll Calls are designed to evaluate how a student performs under direct instruction in a quasi-military style environment. We are evaluating the students motivation, attitude, and desire to attend Sunburst. Applicants must be invited to attend Roll Calls.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Applications are accepted and considered on an ongoing basis. In December, Sunburst will invite all qualified applicants to attend a Final Roll Call (In-person). If you do not have a completed application or have not attended Roll Call, you will not be considered for enrollment for Class 35 held in January.
