AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics) Diversity Scholars Program

The AIAA Diversity Scholars Program seeks to provide opportunities for underrepresented university students who have an interest in or are pursuing a degree in aerospace to attend an AIAA forum or event.

AIAA forums and events draw professionals and students from around the world. Scholars will have the opportunity to expand their network, learn about opportunities available in the aerospace industry, and hear from engineers and scientists on the latest research and development findings helping to shape the future of aerospace. Special sessions will also be designed to enhance the scholars’ experience.

Students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, gender minorities, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, first-generation students, and women have historically been underrepresented in STEM fields therefore, they will receive priority in funding. Applicants are not required to be AIAA student members to be accepted into the Diversity Scholars Program.

Cal-Bridge Summer (CAMPARE)

If you're interested in the space sciences (astrobiology, astronomy, astrophysics, computer science, engineering, physics, etc.), check out CAMPARE and expect a deadline around 1/31 or 2/1. It is a summer research program that pays about $5000 for 8 weeks of research. They do this with a cohort model, so there are workshops and activities during the year to help students get to know each other, but students go to lots of different research sites, with travel and housing paid for. CAMPARE can be done before or after you leave community college and is for those planning to transfer to any CSU campus (Cal Poly Pomona, CSU San Bernardino, etc.).
