Typically on May 1st, this is the day you "commit to" which school you are going to and let them know of your decision. 

It depends! You can if you are actually going to a place the is licensed to teach you and can give you hours (different from just apprenticing). Most schools will also usually have information available about scholarships they offer, too.
