Online Application Resources and Training

The Network to Freedom shifted to an online application system. All applications for the January 15, 2023 deadline and beyond need to be submitted through this electronic system.

Since its inception, the Network to Freedom team dreamed of creating an online database of its sites, facilities, and programs. It is unclear when this could be created, but shifting to this online application system is the first step towards developing such a system.

In order to support Network to Freedom applicants through this transition, the Network to Freedom Program will provide a series of training opportunities and learning resources so that new users can more easily navigate this new system.

Open House: New Application System

The January 15, 2024 deadline to submit Network to Freedom applications is fast approaching! If you would like more direct technical assistance as you work through your online application, the Network to Freedom Program will be hosting several open houses for applicants to receive technical assistance.
