Meet the Future of Aerospace

We are thrilled to introduce you to our Fellows. These 141 Black undergraduate students earned their place in the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship after a fair and rigorous three-round selection process, in which each candidate was thoroughly vetted by a group of aerospace industry professionals, rising star early career employees, and corporate employers.

Patti Grace Smith Fellows each earn a challenging internship at one of the nation’s leading aerospace firms, a living wage, two hand-picked personal mentors, and a cash grant to go towards professional or school expenses.
