- The high school site interested in serving as a partner, including any specifics about a limited application within a larger high school site such as within a program or other school-within-a-school model.
- The name of the primary contact person.
- Confirmation of district support of the application.
- Three potential times in November when leadership team members can be available for a phone call with Next Generation Scholars staff.
