What is the Application Deadline?

Why does the deadline listed on PTK.org/scholarships differ from the YC deadline?

The date posted on the PTK website is for the All-USA scholarship.  This is the date the names of our YC recipients must be submitted.  Local judging of applications occurs prior to the PTK date.  For this reason, the YC deadline is November 10, 2026 @ midnight.
