I'm a rising senior this fall and I'm going to be applying to colleges and scholarships etc etc etc. I recently came across the HSF and was looking through some of the scholarships listed there.

1. When do scholarships get put up for the next academic year so that I can apply?

2. It says I need to file FAFSA - I was under the impression that FAFSA doesn't go up until January 1st, 2010 for the next academic year. Will the scholarship deadlines be after that so that I have time to file FAFSA, send it to the 14 schools I'm applying to, and then also send it to the scholarship place?

Another question as well,

3. I'm trying to fill out my academic profile, but it won't let me finish it until I write down what college I'm attending, which I clearly don't know. How am I supposed to apply for scholarships if they won't let me go without this part?

I second h00dr1chh's third question! Should I just put my top choice? It says you can't change the application once it's submitted, so... I'm puzzled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Found this on the site's FAQ:
---------------
"I am applying to multiple universities. What university should I put on my application?"

If you are undecided about which university you will attend, please list the university that you will most likely attend.

Now then, doesn't it just depend on how optimistic you are? Perhaps my safety school would be the safest to put down, but I don't necessarily "plan to attend." Question's still up in the air. Could someone who's gone through the process before give some tips?
