Draper Laboratory - Draper Fellow Program

Draper Lab Fellow Program

The Draper Laboratory Fellow (DLF) Program sponsors about 50 graduate students each year. Draper works with the student’s home university to provide a sponsored Research Assistant position. The DLF appointment provides full tuition coverage and a monthly stipend, for the duration of the student’s degree program. In return, the student performs approximately 20 hours per week of project support or thesis research here at Draper Laboratory on a project that is of mutual interest to the student, the university faculty advisor, and to Draper Laboratory.

Candidates must be:

US citizens or Permanent Residents (holder of a “green card”);

Enrolled as a full-time student in a graduate degree program that requires a thesis;

Pursuing a technical/engineering degree that aligns with Draper work; and

Enrolled in a university/college within easy commuting distance to a Draper facility where relevant work is being performed

Applications for the DLF program are individually coordinated through the university you are applying to for graduate studies. If you are interested in more information about becoming a DLF, please complete the form below.
