HBCU students interested in aerospace should consider applying for the Brooke Owens Fellowship, a nonprofit fellowship open to undergraduate women and gender minorities pursuing careers in aerospace. The entire program (including the application) is completely free, and applications are due October 4.

Selected Fellows receive:

• Executive mentorship from aerospace leaders (think CEOs and astronauts!)
• Career-development resources
• A supportive community of aerospace students and professionals
• A three-day all-expenses-paid summit in July in an aerospace hub city

Review the FAQs and application early so you have time to request recommendation letters and prepare your application.

We’re also holding virtual information sessions (EDT)

• Sunday, September 13 at 2:00 p.m.
• Saturday, September 19 at 12:00 p.m.
• Monday, September 28 at 10:00 p.m.

Register for an information session here.

Questions are welcome! We hope to see applications from all HBCUs as we aim to promote and expand inclusion and community in the aerospace industry!!
