FLITE Stipend Program

The Future Leaders in Technology (FLITE) stipend program enables Georgetown undergraduate students to gain summer work experience in the technology sector.

FLITE offers funding to undergraduate students interning in tech roles or at tech companies, startups, or nonprofits – helping to grow and shape the next generation of Hoya leaders in tech. Preference is given to students with financial need and/or internships that are unpaid or low-paying.

 

How does FLITE benefit students?

FLITE seeks to serve students that may not otherwise have the financial resources to accept a tech internship by providing monetary assistance for travel, housing, and incidental costs. Because of programs like FLITE, Georgetown students have the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the technology industry and the best alumni network around the world – a community that they will be a part of for a lifetime.

 

What is the timeline for the program?

Recipients for the 2025 program have been selected and notified. Applications for the 2026 program will open in March 2026. Stay tuned for more information!
