Hi,
I added some wording inspired by what I read in the other projects. I
think we need a little bit of "vision" text in the questions that
allows it (Like the description of the organization).

We definitely need a form for students applications, I added some
bullet points. We could use (if this is allowed) a Google form for
that.

Regards,
