+To ensure that the Submitty Org Admins and Mentors have all of the
+information about your ideas, project plan, and availability for
+Google Summer of Code 2025, we ask you to use the Submitty Applicant
+Template.
+
+The template will include:
+
+* Your skills, relevant coursework, non-course experience, and future
+ career goals that qualify you to work on this project.
+
+* Approximate schedule for the summer: start date, end date, and
+ number of hours of work per week.
+
+* Description of any classes, employment, or other time commitments
+ during that time period.
+
+* Engagement with the Submitty project team during the application
+ period. This includes participation in public discussions on our
+ [Zulip server](/contact): asking technical questions about issues
+ and work-in-progress PRs, helping other prospective applicants with
+ installation hiccups and development problems, etc.
+
+* Links to all GitHub pull requests to the Submitty organization and
+ their current status (submitted, reviewed, revised, approved,
+ merged). _NOTE: significant/large pull requests take more time to
+ review for completeness and correctness. It's ok if your work is
+ not merged before the GSoC application deadline._
+
+* Links to all Submitty PRs authored by other developers that you have
+ reviewed. _NOTE: reviews should be thoughtful and substantive. PR
+ reviews that simply comment "LGTM" are not as helpful._
