Why this is fair — and sustainable

Discounts are capped and top-tier seats are limited per cohort, so teaching quality is never subsidised away.
The registration fee adjusts into your course fee — it filters commitment, not wallets.
Every scholarship seat joins a cohort that runs anyway, so merit is rewarded without cutting corners on mentors, juries or class sizes.
