Английская Википедия:Brooke Owens Fellowship
The Brooke Owens Fellowship[1][2][3] is a non-profit program in the United States that provides paid internships and executive mentorship for undergraduate women seeking a career in aviation or space exploration.[4] The fellowship was created to honor the memory of Brooke Owens, a pilot and space policy expert who died of cancer at the age of 35.[5]
Motivation and overview
The program looks to improve diversity within the aerospace industry.[6] The program offers students paid summer internships at companies (including SpaceX, Avascent, Commercial Spaceflight Federation, Orbital ATK, Virgin Orbit, and Blue Origin), travel stipends and assigned mentors.[7] It was created by Lori Garver, a former NASA deputy administrator, along with aerospace executives William Pomerantz (Virgin Orbit) and Cassie Kloberdanz Lee (Vulcan Inc.).[8]
Fellows received two experienced aerospace mentors, one at their host industry, and another in an associated sector.[9] Mentors include Lori Garver, Diana Trujillo, Charles Bolden, Pamela Melroy, Dava Newman, Danielle Wood, Emily Calandrelli, Will Pomerantz and Cassie Lee.[10] The fellows are connected to a Fellowship class and an alumni network.[9] The program is run with Future Space Leaders, and emphasises creativity.[11] The annual Brooke Owens Fellowship conference happens during the Future Space Conference in Washington, D.C.[11] Whilst the program is open to international students, some institutions can only host US citizens or green card holders.[11][12]
The program's success has resulted in the creation of several spin-off fellowships, including the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship, Patti Grace Smith Fellowship, Zed Factor Fellowship, and Zenith Canada Pathways Fellowship.[13]
Alumni
As of 2024, the Brooke Owens Fellowship has 343 alumnae across eight cohorts.[14] Fellows span fields from engineering and science to policy, journalism, and entrepreneurship.
