A Cornell Engineering program supported by CREA

Program Overview

Jiang Fellows is an entrepreneurship program rooted in the College of Engineering. The program is open to all juniors at Cornell University that have a strong interest in entrepreneurship.

Jiang Fellows program is delivered in two phases:

• Students enroll in a 1-credit immersive course during the spring semester to explore fundamental topics in entrepreneurship and to help them cultivate their readiness for a summer internship experience at a startup.
• Students then spend the summer between their junior and senior years working for a startup of their choosing. Offers of summer funding will be made in mid-March based on demonstrated interest and commitment to the program.

During the program, students are connected to executive leadership at their chosen startup to build their entrepreneurial skills, experience, and professional network, as well as a robust network of Jiang Fellows alumni to aid them as they develop their careers.
