Your real odds
This is one of the most competitive social impact fellowships in the world, with over 35 years running and a global applicant pool vying for a limited number of spots each cycle.
Echoing Green does not publish an acceptance rate, but its reputation draws thousands of applicants annually, and the cohort size stays small.
