+# Young Nebraska Scientists Webforms
+
+This is a program sponsored by EPSCoR. Sarah Zulkolski-Benson is the contact.
+
+Middle & High-School students submit applications, and teachers submit
+endorsements for students.
+
+The live site is at:
+
+ http://ucommxsrv1.unl.edu/yns_forms/applicants/
+ http://ucommxsrv1.unl.edu/yns_forms/endorsements/
+
+Annually the year and camp details need to be updated.
+The camp information is stored in the camps table, the year is scattered
+throughout the entire system. I usually search the entire codebase for the camp
+deadline dates to find them all.
+
+Database is at http://ucommxsrv2.unl.edu/JUNK/phpMyAdmin/
+
+yns is the database name
+
+
