You apply to someone for something.

 

For example, you can apply to a college for a place on a course.

You can apply to a company for a job.

 

'Apply' followed by 'with' is not usual.

Hello Tulum!

 

"Apply" has a couple of different meanings, but I believe you are using it for "request" or "submit an application."

 

<em>Apply for</em> means you have made a request for something, such as <em>I applied for a passport</em>. You are looking for something.

 

<em>Apply to</em> means you have made a request to someone or something, such as <em>I applied to the university</em>. You are requesting something from someone else.

 

<em>Apply with</em> isn't as common, the other two forms are the most used, but "apply with" could be used if you used something or someone to help in making your request, such as <em>I applied with an email for the job opening</em> or <em>I applied with the volunteers to clean up the road</em>. It could also be used in place of "apply to" if you made a request to a group or institution, such as <em>He applied with the Red Cross to become a volunteer</em>.

 

Does that help?

apply for = request,make a request for, make an application for.

 

apply to= use,implement,put to practical or specific use (i.e. knowledge, laws, regulations); deal with, refer to

 

but i don't know what's the meaning of "apply with".

be successful.
