The Student Blueprint
Fellowship
In 12 weeks, build a real portfolio project with a mentor’s feedback, and leave with experience you can put on your résumé, without needing a job offer or connections first.
12 weeks · About 5 to 8 hours a week · Students 18 and older · By application
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
An educational program, built for you
The Fellowship is training, not a job. You aren’t working for AOTC. You’re learning a skill, practicing it on a project of your own, and getting expert feedback along the way.
Your work is yours
Your project lives on your accounts and in your portfolio. AOTC never requires you to promote it or do its work.
Mostly training
Weekly lessons, written learning goals, assignments and feedback. Your project is the final exam.
Fits your semester
About 5 to 8 hours a week, timed to the academic calendar, with exam weeks off.
How the Fellowship works
Foundations
Pillars 01, 02 and 06: who you are, your goals, your time. Write your learning objectives and choose your project.
Track training
A weekly 60-minute live workshop, weekly assignments and one-on-one feedback every two weeks.
Portfolio project
Build your project, with a mid-point review to keep it on track.

How to list it honestly: “Fellow, Student Blueprint Fellowship (AOTC)” under education or certifications.
Do the work. Finish a project you’re proud of. Or get your money back.
Complete every milestone and attend at least 10 of 12 sessions. If you don’t finish with a portfolio project you’re proud of, we’ll refund your tuition in full. Fell behind for a real reason, like exams or illness? Join the next class free.
Apply for the founding class
The founding class is free while we refine the program. 15 seats, three tracks: Content, Research and Entrepreneurship. Future classes will be $397, or 3 payments of $139.
Applications close on a set date before the class starts. In return for the free seat, we ask for honest feedback each week.
By submitting application you agree that you are at least 18 years old.
Before you apply
Is this a job or an internship?
No. It’s an unpaid educational program. You won’t be working for AOTC, and no job is promised. You’ll learn a skill, build your own project and get feedback from a mentor.
Who owns my project?
You do. It lives on your accounts and in your portfolio. AOTC will only share your work with your permission and with credit to you.
Do I have to promote AOTC?
Never. Promoting AOTC is not part of any track or project.
How much time does it take?
About 5 to 8 hours a week: one 60-minute workshop, assignments, project work and a feedback session every two weeks. Exam weeks are off.
Will I definitely get a letter of recommendation?
Letters are for fellows who complete every milestone. A letter only means something if it’s earned, so we’re clear about that up front.
How should I list it on LinkedIn?
As “Fellow, Student Blueprint Fellowship (AOTC)” under education, certifications or volunteer experience. It’s a program you completed, not a job.
Who can apply?
College students 18 and older. A parent or guardian can pay for paid classes on a student’s behalf.
15 seats. The founding class is free.
Apply for the Student Blueprint Fellowship and build something real this semester.
