It depends on the award. Look for how to apply in each listing.

Automatic consideration
The college considers you when you apply for admission. Check whether there's an earlier scholarship deadline.
Separate application
You'll need to submit a scholarship application too. Leave time for any essays or recommendations it asks for.
School nomination
Your school may need to nominate you before you can apply. Ask your counselor about the school's deadline.
