Whether you’re applying for the upcoming cohort or expressing interest in a future one, the process starts the same way — with our Eligibility Form.
Visit our website to apply.
If applications are open: You'll see an "Apply here" button. Click it to submit your application.
If applications are closed: You'll see a "Complete Eligibility Form" button. Clicking it ensures you'll be among the first to know when applications reopen for the next cohort.
How the Application Process Works
Each time a new cohort launches, a new eligibility form is posted on the Riipen FuturePath website. Completing this form places you on the list to be notified via email when applications reopen.
Important Details About the Eligibility Application Form:
No guarantee of a spot in the cohort – It only puts you on the list for notifications when applications reopen.
One project per cohort – You can participate in up to 3 cohorts, completing one project per cohort.
First-come, first-served – Due to high demand and limited funding, the application closes once the cohort reaches its limit.
Important Details About the Application Process:
Every application is reviewed by the Riipen FuturePath team.
Spots are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Some students may receive a conditional acceptance, which requires completing a third step to confirm your spot in the program. Details will be shared with those applicants directly.
Do not begin your project before being accepted – You must be invited, apply, and be accepted to a project before starting.
