and now I get obsessive over details... "Should I put 'college' or 'N/A' for my sister, who's working on her Ph.D.? Do I put English or Russian as my first language if I learned them at the same time?"

I kid. But still. Erg. Agh. Specifics.

@DinoGiraffe I think that the other UWC's have some slots for financial aid but the majority of scholarships come from your national committee-which in your case is Canada.

@lunascreatures mmm, cookies are my FAVORITE!

@dinogiraffe: Pearson gives full scholarship to its students. Some national committees are more generous with financial aid than others. I know AC is quite reasonable with its financial aid as well, but I think most of it extends to direct applicants. Your best bet would be getting the scholarship through your national committee. I don't know how generous Canada is, sorry!

So i started my UWC-USA online application but I went back to the website later and the link to get to the online application is gone, how do I get back and continue the app i already started??

@criver and coexistxx
I had the same problem - unfortunately, it was when I was in my counselor's office talking about it and I couldn't pull up the website. It's still up, but the link has moved.
try this:

if it doesn't work (it might not, since you're getting there from here!), go to the UWC-USA website, go to application process, then US Applicants, then down on the timeline click the SECOND "online application" link. The first takes you to the Apply Online section of the uwc website, which doesn't have the link anymore, but the SECOND ONE (I repeat - the second one) is correct.

I had to call my dad and ask where it went, and luckily he found it. Also luckily my counselor was talking to someone else in my moment of WHERE DID IT GOOO

also, after you find it, bookmark it in case the links move again

so who's started the essays? I have all the topics pasted into a document, and I'm planning a couple of them, but I can't get myself to just write. It's fewer words than a single day of NaNoWriMo but oh so much harder...
