We pick the applications, pay the challenge, and never touch the account. FAQ ### Is DT Scholarships a prop firm? No. We pay the evaluation fee at an established prop firm and step away. The firm funds the account and pays out, and we take nothing from it. ### Who pays for this? 10% of eligible DT Terminal paid subscriptions goes into the scholarship fund. The ledger and the donor wall are public on the DT Scholarships page. ### Do I need a paid plan to apply? No. Applications are open to members on every plan, free included. The three requirements can all be met on a free account. ### What happens if I fail the evaluation? The fee was ours, so you have lost nothing. Trading outcomes on the evaluation and on the funded account are your own. ### How are scholars chosen? On merit, each cycle. The record in your account is read first, then a short written application about your edge, what journaling changed and your plan for the account. ### How do I apply? Meet the three requirements, then answer two short questions on the application page. Selected traders are told inside the app. ## The only entry fee is discipline you have already shown. Recipients are selected on merit each cycle. Sponsorship covers the evaluation fee only; trading outcomes are your own.
