The Kessler Fellows Program offers select junior engineering students a unique year-long experience that combines learning while they are at Cornell and exposure to the startup culture through a summer placement in a company or other entrepreneurial environment.

Eligibility and Selection:  Engineering students are eligible to apply during the fall semester of their Junior year. Interviews are conducted before winter break, and Fellowships offered in early December. Fellows are selected by a Program Advisory Board comprised of faculty, academic staff and entrepreneurs.

Financial Support:  Through the generosity of Andrew J. Kessler ’80 EE, Fellows receive a cash prize at the conclusion of the spring course “Essentials of Entrepreneurism” and are paid a weekly stipend during their 10-12 week summer placement. In addition, if they are financial aid recipients, a portion of their packaged federal loans may be reduced during their senior year.

Next Steps:  Attend an information session, and apply!

You must attend an info session.  One, not two.
