Our Mission

The aerospace industry shouldn't feel like a closed door.

Why AeroEd Exists

Aerospace includes pilots, engineers, technicians, controllers, and people who build the software behind flight. Finding a clear starting point can be difficult, whether you're a student choosing classes or a career changer exploring a new field.

AeroEd exists to close that gap. We believe that a 15-year-old in any zip code should be able to open a single site and see exactly what aerospace careers look like, what programs can get them there, and what steps to take right now — not after college, not after grad school. Now.

What We Believe

01

Careers are discovered, not assigned

Students shouldn't pick a career from a dropdown menu. They should explore, get curious, and find the path that actually excites them.

02

Information should be free and clear

Every scholarship, internship, and flight program we list is free to find. No paywalls, no upsells, no "premium tiers."

03

Students can build real things

AeroEd itself is proof. You don't have to wait for permission or a degree to solve a problem you care about.

04

Aerospace belongs to everyone

This industry needs people from every background. The more perspectives at the table, the further we all go.

How It Started

AeroEd was created by a high schooler in Seattle who grew up fascinated by flight — watching planes cross the sky, reading about Mars missions, wondering what it would take to actually work in aerospace one day.

But when he went looking for answers, he found a maze. Scholarship databases that hadn't been updated in years. Career advice written for people who already had engineering degrees. Program listings buried in government PDFs. The information existed — it just wasn't built for students.

So he decided to build something that was.
