Your real odds
The program is open right now, but budget is limited by high demand, and FedNor explicitly asks you to call before applying.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis with no set competition round, so timing and remaining budget directly affect your chances. Past results, a strong business case, and a post-internship retention plan all factor into approval decisions.
What it takes
Call FedNor before applying (1-877-333-6673) to discuss your project and confirm budget availability1–2 hours
Prepare your application: work plan, mentoring arrangement, networking opportunities, and post-internship retention plan1–2 weeks
Run a fair and transparent recruitment process and hire an eligible intern2–4 weeks

Worth knowing
FedNor covers up to 90% of intern salary and benefits, capped at $52,500 over 18 months, plus up to $5,000 for equipment and training, and because the budget is capped rather than round-based, earlier applications in any given period have better odds.
