Your real odds
All four funding streams are currently open as waitlists only, and the program runs until March 31, 2027, or until the $70 million is fully allocated, whichever comes first.
Funding is limited and explicitly not guaranteed per the program's own language, so joining a waitlist now gives you the best position before the budget runs out ahead of the 2027 deadline.
