Today, women remain a distinct minority in science and engineering, representing approximately 10 percent of professionals in these fields. The Amelia Earhart Fellowship program helps talented women, pursuing advanced studies in the typically male-dominated fields of aerospace-related sciences and engineering, achieve their educational goals. The Fellowship enables these women to invest in state-of-the-art computers to conduct their research, purchase expensive books and resource materials, and participate in specialized studies around the globe. Amelia Earhart Fellows have gone on to become astronauts, aerospace engineers, astronomers, professors, geologists, business owners, heads of companies, even Secretary of the US Air Force.

  2. Hello Amelia, I’m 21yr old boy who has completed a three year course in Electrical Engineering after my high school programme. I have much interest in Robotic Engineering field and in addition to the knowledge i have in the Electrical field, i have been able to build my own homemade robot using components from dumped electronic devices or systems. I really have the photo of that robot which can prove what am saying. My goal is to study in any institution in the US that offers Electronic or Robotic Engineering as a course because i really love these fields but the problem now is the finance to take me through the traveling and the studies process. In Ghana, where nobody requires robotic or electronic Engineers in their service, its very difficult to obtain an aid from people or cooperative bodies who can send you to the US to study such a programme. I really need help and want to start schooling again. Thank you very much and hope to hear from you. +233241873409…
