LOT Verification ScoreSolid

Cross-checked 2 of 5 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Backed by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios
  • +2025 cohort published with full recipient bios (over 100 applications received)
  • +Multi-year benefit via 2027 and 2028 accreditation discounts

Worth checking yourself

  • !The aggregator's 'Fully Funded' label is wrong for Tier 2: only Tier 1 gets travel and accommodation; Tier 2 self-funds the trip to Estonia
  • !Deadline is August 14, two days from research date; expires almost immediately
  • !Applications run through a third-party portal (Documentary Campus on festicine.pro) requiring account creation; not a fee, but an extra step
  • !This is a professional industry program, not youth-specific; no age bounds exist

What we could not confirm

  • ?Age limits and career stage definition ('up and coming' is never defined)
  • ?How Tier 1 vs Tier 2 is decided
  • ?Selection timeline and number of places
