Format
Format your application according to the requirements in the Application Content and Format PDF. If your submission does not meet these requirements, we'll notify you that your application has been rejected. You will have 72 hours or until the original due date, whichever is later, to resubmit your application in the required format. Resubmitted applications must be postmarked within that time frame and shipped via an overnight delivery service. For an example of the required format, see the 2015 Casey Comprehensive Care Center for Veterans Case Study PDF.
