Right, this is in some sense a separate problem, but every year we offer sponsorship to people and some fraction of these cancel. One potential solution to this is to extend our ranking past the actual budget numbers by some fraction, with the people beyond the budget being wait-listed. For this hypothetical wait list, funding whole cohorts won't work. Of course we could just estimate the cancelation rate, and build that into the budget also. This is slightly riskier, although perhaps simpler. d
