Interested in a career in aerospace?

The Brooke Owens Fellowship provides paid internships (in engineering, policy, business, journalism, communications, and more) and executive mentorship to undergraduate women and non-binary students in the aerospace industry. The application is currently live until October 8th.

Why apply? Fellows have interned at over 30 host companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Boeing. Each cohort also convenes for a 3-day summit in July to build connections with their class and network with top aerospace professionals. In addition to a paid internship and summit experience, fellows are matched with executive mentors— think CEOs and astronauts!

Still interested? Emily Calandrelli (@TheSpaceGal on social media and Brooke Owens Fellowship Executive Team Member) is hosting a Facebook Live on Friday, October 1st at 12pm PT / 3pm ET to answer any last-minute questions about the fellowship. We also suggest taking a look at the application as soon as possible to request recommendations and start thinking about your application pieces. Also, stay tuned for updates on our social media accounts below, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing your application!
