Your real odds
One $1,000 grant goes to one for-profit applicant per month, so the math is brutal no matter how strong your application is.
The application is public and frictionless, which keeps the barrier to entry low and the applicant pool large relative to a single monthly winner, though the actual volume is never disclosed.
