I'm not the right person to answer this, but here is a summary of what the others that asked the same questions as you got.
The most valuable thing to when deciding which students will get approved is to see your code and that your ability to learn. Read the manual and ask questions on julia-users that has not been answered before. Read what others ask, and see if you are able to answer easy some questions. Use your experience to provide useful comments on github issues and Pull requests. If you are able to submit some Julia code that does something useful in a Pull Request to Julia or one of the packages, that would be a huge plus. As you say you have some experience in the field, you probably have some thoughts on how you want to solve some of the problems. A more detailed proposal is probably also useful for those who will do the selection. You will also have to register at googles site and submit all the paper work.
