The Brooke Owens Fellowship addresses gender imbalance in aerospace by supporting exceptional undergraduate women and gender-minority students. The experience centers on senior and alumni mentorship, professional growth, community, and access to opportunities that can launch an aerospace career.
Who can apply
Applicants must have completed at least one full semester of their current academic program, identify as a gender minority in aerospace, be available for the program’s summer experience, and have a genuine interest in an aerospace career. The program evaluates talent, leadership, service, and creativity holistically.
What the award may cover
Fellows receive executive and alumni mentorship, professional development, an annual summit, a lifelong network, and access to career-launching opportunities. The program states that internships can no longer be guaranteed for every fellow.
