OpenAI has launched applications for its Fall 2020 Scholars program.
Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True: OpenAI opened applications for a 'Fall 2020' cohort of its Scholars program on or before 2020-07-29, as shown by an OpenAI blog post, application page or dated announcement. Mostly true: applications opened for that cohort, with a minor detail off (e.g. a slightly different program name or opening date within a few days). Mostly false: only a program announcement without open applications, or applications opened clearly after that date. False: evidence shows no Fall 2020 Scholars cohort or application process existed.
Set before the research began.

Reasoning
An independent Dice article dated 2020-08-03 (E2) reports that OpenAI was accepting applications for its Fall 2020 Scholars program, which closed Sept. 8 and was due to start Oct. 12. A third-party list (E3) also names an 'Open AI Scholars Program : Fall 2020' and links to an OpenAI Lever posting. Neither source gives the exact date applications opened, so the evidence confirms only that they were open within a few days of 2020-07-29, not that they opened on or before it. OpenAI's 2020-07-09 post (E1) said only that details about applying would be announced later.
