People on the facebook are saying that they talked to tech support on the phone and that the deadline was extended to 6pm today. If it still isn't working by then, idk what will happen.

Knowing the DoD, they're probably going to shrug and say "close enough to closing, we got enough applicants this year" and leave it at that.

Just got off the phone with support, you can email IT IT@smartscholarship.org , they also said they are extending it to 6PM eastern, but she anticipated another extension as of right now it’s extended to 6PM eastern. If you email IT you can get the update.
