How we verify

Each listing links to an official program page and includes a recorded check date. Earlier entries are being reviewed; that date alone is not a guarantee that every field is confirmed.
If the page doesn't state a fee or stipend, we say "Not stated on page". Legacy source qualifications are being reviewed; always confirm details on the official page.
If the page doesn't print the deadline year, the listing shows a "Year inferred" badge.
"Pay-to-attend" is set by hand in our data: yes = the official page states a program or residency fee the resident pays; no = the page states no such fee (or the program is non-residential or salaried); unclear = the page does not say. Residents may still cover meals and travel.
"Eligibility limits" lists restrictions from our verification notes (age, location, career stage, discipline). It is not exhaustive; read the official guidelines.
"Source evidence recorded" means a reviewer saved the official page and recorded short quotes for the deadline (with its year), the application fee, the program cost and the stipend. "Evidence pending" listings have not yet met that four-quote standard (most come from an earlier, less complete check) and are being re-verified. Unchecked is not the same as approved.
Listings are due for a recheck every 30 days; older checks are marked "Recheck due".
Corrections: email corrections are not open yet. Every listing links to its official page, which always takes precedence.

Reading costs and support

Application fees pay for submission. Program costs pay for participation; travel, meals and supplies may be additional. Free accommodation does not establish a free residency. A tuition discount or refundable deposit is not a cash stipend. Not verified does not mean zero.

Digest and privacy

A deadline digest is planned; regular email delivery has not started. Email signup is temporarily unavailable. Existing subscriber information is handled by beehiiv under its privacy policy.

Sponsorship

No sponsor placement is active. Any future advertisement will be labeled Sponsored and separated from listings. Payment will never buy inclusion, ranking or a verification result.

This directory is machine-assisted. Recorded source evidence is not a guarantee of continuing accuracy; check the organizer before applying.
