The AIFS Career Exploration Fellowship Program is to prepares undergraduate students from multidisciplinary backgrounds for careers at the intersection of food, agriculture, and technology. The program pairs college students with companies and university labs to work on exciting projects that are addressing critical challenges in food and agriculture using innovative technologies.

Students spend 8 weeks working full time at their placements during the summer, and present on their experiences at the end of the program.

Throughout their fellowships, students participate in cohort activities designed to expand their professional skills and knowledge of career paths. This program is open to undergraduates and community college students at schools in the United States.

Applications are typically accepted in February and March.

NOTE: The Career Exploration Fellowship Program is not currently accepting applications.
