The Patti Grace Smith Fellowship

To be eligible to become a Patti Grace Smith Fellow, all of these things should be true about you:

-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, US Permanent Resident, US National, a Refugee in the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1157 or an Asylee in the United States under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, and legally permitted to work in the United States.

-You should not yet be part of the aerospace workforce. Typically, this means that you should be seeking your first paid internship in aerospace, although there may be some exceptions (e.g. military service, or prior experience in aerospace in a job role or discipline totally unrelated to your preferred future path) that you should address in one of your essays.

-You should be of strong moral character and dedicated to furthering the mission of our program and our community.
