The Zed Factor Fellowship Program  

Established in 2020, the Zed Factor Fellowship aims to elevate the diversity and impact of the aerospace community. Through internships for top qualified applicants, Zed Factor empowers learners who struggle to find role models that they can emulate. The program consists of five key attributes: mentorship from an aerospace professional, an internship at an aerospace company, professional development programs, self-designed service projects, and a continuing network to connect students throughout their educational and professional journeys.  

Redwire is proud to partner with Zed Factor Fellowship to empower and equip the next generation of aerospace professionals.
