The Zed Factor Fellowship invites all students interested in aerospace to apply for its 2024 Fellowship program. The Zed Factor Fellowship is an aviation and space internship and community outreach program for undergraduate students hailing from historically excluded communities and backgrounds. Students selected for the program will receive a 10+ week paid summer or fall internship. The program encourages students in all majors, including STEM, business/marketing, communications/journalism, policy/pre-law, humanities, and social sciences to apply.

In addition to the internship placement, students will receive mentorship from an executive and young professional in their field and carry out a funded space or aviation-related community engagement project. Applications are currently being accepted for placement with leading space and aviation companies for Summer 2024 or Fall 2024 internships.
