The correct syntax for partial match using XPath contains() function would be:

WebElement Apply =driver.findElementByXPath("//a[contains(text(),'Apply now')]");

You might find ByPartialLinkText locator easier to use

WebElement Apply = driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Apply Now"));

You might also want to wrap this into WebDriverWait:

WebElement Apply = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
        .until(ExpectedConditions
                .presenceOfElementLocated(By
                        .partialLinkText("Apply Now")));

And finally according to Java naming conventions you might want to make this Apply to start with the lowercase a

I think that your xpath query was not ok. I would write it like this

WebElement applyButton = driver.findElementByXPath("//a[text() = 'Apply Now']");
applyButton.click()
