Your real odds
The priority deadline passed on July 12, 2026, and remaining spots fill on a rolling basis until the August 11 program start.
The program has served 10,500+ changemakers across five years and multiple cohorts, which suggests real scale, and early applicants receive priority consideration, so the pool of remaining seats is likely shrinking.
