No, they don't unfortunately. But they are pretty awesome programs and I recommend checking them out!

This is still true! In particular, if you took a gap year before going to college you are eligible.

Hi Kirty!

Keep in mind applications are due tomorrow!

ESPR and SPARC are somewhat similar programs. Some other programs along these lines have been run in the recent past, but I don't know if they'll happen again. Similarly, I've heard people talk about running other programs this summer, but I'm not sure where those stand. I'll add another comment if I get updates on those programs.

I'll direct message you some similar options you might want to check out! I think there's a lot of cool stuff out there for 20-year-olds who meet the same bar as Atlas fellows.

Update: edited the post to make it more clear what we mean by "nomination."

I appreciate the suggestion! But I think you've slightly misunderstood our nomination process. As hath surmised, nominations are an easy way for people to share the program with students they think might be a good fit, not a part of our admissions decisions. We don't ask students for a nomination on the application. Apologies for not making that more clear!
