scholarship-deadline-verifier
Verify scholarship and program deadlines, eligible countries and program status on official websites, then record them so plans use real dates. Use when a deadline shows "(est.)", when a program's status is unknown, when the user asks "is this still open?" or "when is the deadline?", or before telling anyone a date as fact.

# Deadline & eligibility verifier
The database stores the **usual pattern** of each deadline plus dates confirmed by research (with source and
`verified_on`). Estimates must be checked before a candidate relies on them.
## What needs checking

- `cli.py validate --warnings` lists records with old `data_last_reviewed` / `verified_on` or missing sources.
- Programs with status `unknown`, or deadlines in `data/programs/*.json` marked estimated.
## How to verify
1. Open the **official** page: `official_portal` of the scholarship, the program `website`, the embassy page for
