Add opp start date to applicant portal for opps that haven't opened yet Merged

When you aren't logged in and you look at the scholarship listing, you can see the deadline for open opportunities, "ended" for closed opportunities or blank for awards that haven't opened yet. When students are logged in, it lists "none" for opportunities that aren't opened yet with help text that states the opportunity isn't yet available.

Client has been getting a lot of feedback from students that are confused because they can't find open scholarship opportunities and think that they are doing something wrong. It's not clear for students what opportunities are available in the future and when those opportunities will open.

It would be nice if on the scholarship listing whether students are logged in or not, it said "Begins 09/09/2017" instead of blank or "none." Students always think to hover over "none" to see what action is needed. Currently, there is no way for students to see the date that each scholarship opens.

It would also be great if the scholarship listing was sorted by open scholarships, future scholarships and then ended scholarships. Now, students have to scroll past the ended opportunities to find scholarships that haven't opened yet.
