- At the time of application, is a college junior, college senior, or graduate student who intends to pursue a full-time career in the commercial spaceflight industry.
- Commercial space is broadly defined as activities in entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and innovation that will enable new or dramatically improved products or services that do not depend solely on government cost-plus contracting to prove viable.

- Following this process, finalists are selected and offered to the host companies for consideration. Ultimately, each host company will select a Fellow from among the final applicant pool.
- The Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program will then complete the placement by notifying each Fellow of their acceptance in December 2022 or January 2023. Fellows begin their internships in May or June 2023.
