More details on the phases are in our primer. In very exceptional cases, we may still accept candidates for the Trials Phase even if they cannot join the Proving Ground Phase, or vice versa. (Those who just want to apply for the Proving Ground Phase must convince us that they're knowledgeable enough already with what we cover in the Trials.)

You can put one number or a range, e.g., "15" or "15-25 depending on the week"

Our fellowship is free, part-time, and has a $200 USD completion reward to make it accessible. Moreover, for those who need it, we have limited financial aid available that we may offer to 1-3 participants. Below are examples of financial aid requests we would consider funding: 
- an in-person participant living in or near Metro Manila who would need a travel and/or accommodation allowance for 1-2 nights per week
- a participant from the Philippines who wants a monthly stipend to be in Metro Manila during some or all of the fellowship
- a virtual participant who needs a monthly stipend to be able to participate in our fellowship
How fast and stable is your internet connection? *
(This question is more relevant for those in our virtual track.)
