Career and pregnancy. Does it fit?

Hi all! I work in a government department and have over the last couple of years made my way into management. I am 29 and my department are/have invested a bit of money and time into giving me opportunities such as high level roles for periods of time.

I recently applied for a leadership program scholarship which is around $20000. The program spoke with my CEO as they weren’t able to offer me a scholarship, and my department has agreed to cover the cost for me.

Only thing is, we are actively trying for a baby. This program starts the beginning of 2025 and goes for about 10 months, and you need to attend all the sessions.

I have no way of knowing if I will be successful in getting pregnant and I don’t want to tell my workplace this as the moment, as I am also applying for senior management jobs.

Do I;

1. Open up with my workplace and tell them we are trying and that we don’t know if we will be able to have a baby, but if so may not be able to attend the end of the program?

2. Go with the process and if we do happen to get pregnant, tell them then? Even if it means commencing the program and the department losing the $$.

I am just so worried about burning my bridges or having my employer annoyed about me for not being upfront about my plans for pregnancy.
