Your real odds
Winners have ranged from age 17 to 47 across many fields, so the pool is broad but the number of awards is limited.
Selection weighs financial need, your essay, and two letters of recommendation, and the published winner lists suggest only a handful of awards go out each cycle.
What it takes

Write essay on how $1,000 would be used2 to 4 hrs
Line up two recommenders to upload blind letters1 to 2 weeks
