I'd say it's not scalable not because of the money, but because it's incredibly difficult to find people for whom the Fellowship is the right thing:
The 20 fellows chosen in each batch are people who are not only sharp, but have projects and visions that they are already tackling. They tend to teach themselves what they need to learn to make those things work, and have the resourcefulness and skills to make their projects at least somewhat viable.
That doesn't quite capture the whole of it, but my point is that there aren't huge numbers of people who are a good fit for the fellowship, and my experience thus far has been that the fit criteria are narrower than you might expect.
