Clicking "submit" on your application to become a Patti Grace Smith Fellow may well be the first step on your way to being "transcendent trailblazers" like Patti herself. Life is busy, but we all need to find moments to invest in ourselves. This is one of those moments. Good luck!
As a result of a few hours spent on an application, they may start themselves on the path towards designing a hypersonic aircraft, to being an astronaut, to sending something with your finger prints on it into space, or just about anything else you can imagine.
For our potential applicants, one of those moments is happening in their life right now. Whether they have been thinking about their application for months or they just discovered the program this week, investing time in crafting their application can have enormous returns.
Or I think of the ~2 hours I spent applying to the NASA Academy, even though I had no chance of getting selected. Looking back, I can draw a straight line from that application to a joyful career where I’ve launched dozens of satellites into orbit, flown a helicopter on Mars, & more.
There are little moments in every person's life that make a huge difference. For me, I think of the hour I spent attending the introductory meeting for my college’s chapter of SEDS. That one hour led directly to me changing my major and getting my first internship at NASA.
Students, I encourage you: crack your knuckles, click that Apply link, and tell us all about yourself and your aerospace ambitions. Professors and advisors, today is a great day to reach out to your students to give them a supportive nudge.
