I'd go with "en". Enrolar en un programa. Good question.

As far as I can tell, where I come from in Spain, enrolar is used for organizations like the army or the navy. For other programs you have registrarse (en), inscribirse (en), apuntarse (a) (less formal inscription), afiliarse (a)... and for educational organizations, matricularse (en).

" Inscribir" was the first thing that came to mind, and therefore " me inscribiré en una programa" seems the most common way to say "I will sign up for a program". (México).

" Enrolar" is usually used to join the Army,Navy or political organization,

The preposition is en, but enrolar means recruit or enlist, not enroll. You probably want matricularse or inscribirse, unless the program is basic training.
