Many scholarships targeting Aerospace Engineering students come from universities together with government agencies and private institutions. Universities award scholarships to both distinguished and financially needy students who seek admission into their programs. Aerospace research students who achieve success in their field can take advantage of financial support offered through NASA, ISRO and DRDO government programs. Future aerospace engineers benefit from scholarships provided by Boeing and Lockheed Martin and Airbus that provide internship training together with mentorship assistance.
Students who aim to study abroad can obtain international scholarships along with programs sponsored by industries including the DAAD from Germany and the Chevening from UK and the Fulbright from USA. A particular type of scholarship targets members of underrepresented STEM demographics who want to increase the diversity within aerospace programs. University websites together with scholarship databases as well as the professional aerospace organizations including AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) provide students with opportunities to find funding. Students who apply early and keep excellent academic records with aerospace leadership experience will improve their chances of receiving monetary aid.
