Amelia Earhart
Applications are open for the Amelia Earhart Fellowship 2027, an international fellowship programme supporting women pursuing advanced research and doctoral studies in aerospace engineering and space sciences. The fellowship is offered by Zonta International in honour of Amelia Earhart, the pioneering aviator and advocate for women in aviation and science.
The fellowship provides US$12,000 to selected women pursuing PhD or doctoral degrees in aerospace engineering and space sciences. The award is intended to support women whose academic and research work contributes to fields connected with aviation, aerospace and space exploration.
Since its establishment, the Amelia Earhart Fellowship has supported women pursuing advanced studies in areas where women have historically been underrepresented. The programme seeks applicants who demonstrate strong academic performance, a clear research focus and a commitment to completing doctoral work in aerospace related fields.
The Amelia Earhart Fellowship was established in 1938 in honour of Amelia Earhart, who was an internationally recognised aviator and an advocate for women entering aviation and other fields traditionally dominated by men. The fellowship continues her legacy by supporting women pursuing advanced education and research in aerospace related disciplines.
The programme is specifically designed for women pursuing PhD or doctoral level studies in aerospace engineering and space sciences. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a strong academic record and meaningful progress toward their research objectives.
The fellowship is particularly valuable for women whose research contributes to the development of knowledge, technology and innovation in aerospace and space related fields. Successful fellows become part of a global network of women scholars connected through Zonta International.
• US$12,000 fellowship award.
• Financial support for doctoral level study and research.

• Space technology.
• Aerospace systems.
• Aircraft and spacecraft engineering.
• Propulsion and related aerospace technologies.
• Other doctoral research areas directly connected to aerospace engineering or space sciences.
Applicants should ensure that their research clearly falls within the fellowship's eligible academic fields before applying.
Applicants must meet the academic and programme requirements established by Zonta International.
• Be a woman of any nationality.
• Be pursuing a PhD or doctoral degree.
• Be enrolled in a programme related to aerospace engineering or space sciences.
• Have completed at least one year of a doctoral programme at the time of application.

• Have a clearly defined research programme.
• Demonstrate relevance of the proposed research to aerospace engineering or space sciences.
• Be able to demonstrate progress toward completing the doctoral programme.
• Remain enrolled in the qualifying doctoral programme during the fellowship period.
• Meet all application requirements and submit the application before the deadline.
The fellowship is intended for women who are actively pursuing advanced doctoral research rather than applicants who are only planning to begin a doctoral programme in the future.
The Amelia Earhart Fellowship is competitive and applicants should demonstrate strong qualifications across several areas.
Selection may consider:
• Academic achievement.
• Quality and relevance of the doctoral research.
• Progress toward the doctoral degree.
• Significance of the research in aerospace engineering or space sciences.
• Clarity of research objectives.
• Potential contribution to the applicant's field.
• Professional and academic experience.
• Commitment to completing advanced research.
• Overall strength and completeness of the application.
Applicants should make sure that their research proposal clearly communicates why their work matters and how it contributes to aerospace engineering or space sciences.
Applicants should prepare the information and supporting materials required by the official Zonta application system.
These may include:
• Academic information.
• Details of the doctoral programme.
• Research information.
• Description of the proposed research.
• Academic and professional background.
• Information demonstrating doctoral progress.
• Supporting documents required by the fellowship application.
• References or recommendations where required.
Applicants should carefully review the official application instructions because incomplete applications may not be considered.
