Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship

Amazon believes in building a diverse tech industry and future, and that includes supporting underserved students in their computer science, engineering and robotics education. The Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship program provides 400 students each year with an opportunity to upgrade their careers with a scholarship up to $40,000, plus internship opportunities at Amazon.

Amazon Future Engineers are students just like you from all across the country—like Shamari Walker, a 2023 Purdue University grad, who said “During the summer of 2020 I interned for Amazon as an Amazon Future Engineer and one thing I enjoyed the most about the AFE program was the sense of community it provided. Being an intern at a major tech company like Amazon after your freshman year of college can seem daunting but when you have a community of those similar to you, it helps make your experience 10X better.”
