JP Morgan Launching Leaders

While preparing to apply for the Launching Leaders Experience I came across dilemma, regarding who is eligible for the program.

In the link below it shows in the "Who's Eligible" section, it says the Launching Leaders Experience is open to freshman and sophomores http://careers.JPMorgan.com/student/jpmorgan/careers/launchingleaders/ug/experience

Later when I tried to apply, under Qualifications it said "The J.P. Morgan Launching Leaders Undergraduate Scholarship is open to any Black, Hispanic or Native American students in their sophomore or junior year who attend college/university in the U.S. We are accepting applications from students in any major; however, a 3.5 minimum GPA is required in order to be considered for this scholarship." https://jpmorgan.tal.net/vx/lang-en-GB/system-48/…

I was wondering if it is still open to freshman's?

i'm not sure if i should still apply or just forget about.

any inputs ill be appreciated

In the education section of your resume list your current college and graduation year, and list your high school and your high school gpa and graduation year. List your SAT/ACT scores (which are hopefully high).

If they will want your first semester gpa down the line (for instance if you get an interview), they will ask for it.
