FAQ by School Personnel
To be quite honest, the application process for the Governor's School programs is lengthy and somewhat involved. It can be quite arduous and downright confusing for those working through it for the first time. The final authority on the process and its requirements are the Administrative Guides released by the Department of Education. If after reading them you find yourself totally confused, feel free to contact the Governor's School office at CNU for some friendly guidance.
