How deadlines are shown

We show the sponsor's deadline and time zone exactly as published. When a sponsor gives no time of day or zone, we say so and do not guess; finish a day or more early. Closed scholarships leave the list. The date you choose for yourself is yours, kept only on this device, and separate from the sponsor's deadline.
