For Whom: All Black and African-American undergraduates who are US Persons -- citizens, nationals, permanent residents, or lawfully admitted refugees or asylum seekers -- are eligible.
The PGS Fellowship serves students interested in working in any facet of aerospace: air or space; engineering, science, business, policy, or communications; commercial or government; et cetera. Admission is very competitive but is not based on strict GPA thresholds. In addition to fellowship placement, students receive a $2500 scholarship.
Thus far, 141 Black undergraduates from 68 universities around the USA have received a Patti Grace Smith Fellowship. The program has paid out more than $390K in scholarships and helped place each of these Fellows in a challenging, paid internship that helps them begin their aerospace career journey.
Learn More: All undergraduates and those who teach and advise them are invited to an information session to learn about the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship (pgsfellowship.org), a non-profit program that provides scholarships, mentorship, internship opportunities, and more to Black and African-American undergraduates who aim to start a career in aerospace.
This information session will provide an overview of the program, its history, and the Fellow experience. Some alumni of the Fellowship will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice.
