2. Random Selection – A lottery will be conducted to randomly select participants.
3. Notification – Selected students will be notified and given further details. Those selected will be given 48 hours to respond to confirm participation. 
4. Waitlist – If you aren’t selected, you’ll be placed on a waitlist in case spots open up.
