Summer 2025 Aerospace Internship Program - All Majors
Applications are now open for the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship Class of 2025!
The Patti Grace Smith Fellowship is designed to celebrate and serve Black Excellence in Aerospace. We’ve created a comprehensive program tailored for Black Undergraduate students who are looking for their first ever internship in the aerospace industry. Filling out this application is the first step you’ll take towards an incredible job, a living wage, scholarships, a new community of Black peers and allies, and a life-changing experience.
We know you’re just getting started on your journey in aerospace — so we’ve designed an application process that doesn’t assume you’ll have a giant resume and a loaded school transcript already. We know there are other ways to show excellence, and we’re eager to learn about your talents in all of their different forms.
To be eligible to become a Patti Grace Smith Fellow, all of these things should be true:
- You should be Black, African-American and/or Afro-Latino. If that’s the box you checked on your Census form, then that works for us!
- You should be a current student in a Bachelors Degree program or in any year of an Associates Degree program.
- You should be a US Citizen or US Permanent Resident.
- You should be seeking your first ever paid job / internship in aerospace.
If you meet those four requirements, you are eligible! Students of any gender, any age, any economic class, any major, any GPA, any college or university, and any anything are eligible if they meet those four requirements.
