Your real odds
This is the fourth annual edition, and only a small number of fellowships are awarded globally each year across the entire applicant pool.
The program is open to all stages worldwide, which broadens competition significantly, and selection weighs your expertise, the course's projected impact, budget clarity, and fit with the 'Systems Hack' theme, so a weak thematic argument is a real liability.
What it takes
Confirm a host university to sign an MOU2 to 4 weeks
Develop course concept, objectives, and budget2 to 3 weeks
Submit joint application with host institution1 to 2 days
Worth knowing
The foundation requires fellows to remain in the city or region of the host institution for the full duration of courses, making this a residency-style commitment, so resolve your geographic flexibility before you spend time on the application.
