SELECTION
Please note that the number of applications we typically receive exceeds the available spots by more than five times.
The selection criteria are based on the following: About 50% of these spots are chosen by random draw, to ensure everyone has a chance of being selected. We then prioritize female participation, underrepresented groups, and all those who have been unsuccessfully applying for at least three years. Beyond these spots, the organization also has some spots reserved for sponsors and other commitments.
