  • The Solastra Fellowship Applications

    My name is Tatiana Michel. I am a graduated student from the Aerospace Engineering and Hoeft Technology and Mangement class of 2024. I hope this email finds you well.

    This past year I have founded The Solastra Fellowship - which has the mission to empower Latino pioneers to soar, lead, and inspire the future of aerospace and aviation! 

     You and the programs at UIUC have all in part empowered me to found this fellowship, and I would love to see some fellow students from UIUC feel empowered to apply! I would be honored if you could help spread the word on our UIUC campus - whether email, socials, or another platform!  Applications opened September 1st and close October 17th. Students can be undergrad or grad and can be from any major - so long as they are interested in the aviation or aerospace industry!  I have attached below 2 flyers that we have been sharing with our company, school, and individual partners.

     Thank you in advance and let me know if I can answer any questions.

     Sincerely, 

    Tatiana
