YOUR REAL ODDS

Cohort size is not disclosed in the source, so exact selectivity is unknown, but EY runs this as a structured annual program with a formal application window.

Because EY is a major firm with significant brand appeal and the program costs applicants nothing, competition is likely meaningful. Strongest candidates will have clear growth trajectory and readiness to engage a 12-month program.

  1. Confirm eligibility — Black or Latino/Hispanic founder, established or growth-stage US small business — 30 minutes

  2. Complete and submit the online application at ey.com/en_us/entrepreneurship/entrepreneurs-access-network — 2–4 hours

  3. Application review and selection by EY — Weeks after deadline

WORTH KNOWING
