Future Fellowship
Palantir Technologies, Thailand

The 2021 application period is now open. The deadline to apply is Monday 1 March 2021 at 4:00 PM PST.
We launched the Palantir Future Scholarship in 2016 to support and encourage students from racial/ethnic communities underrepresented in STEM. Building off of four successful years of providing scholarships and broadening access to students beginning careers in technology, we are expanding our commitment with an immersive Fellowship program designed to empower students with the technical and real world skills needed for interviewing in the technology sector.
Ten Fellows will be awarded $7,000 to support their education and invited to participate in a 6-week fully-remote program, designed to prepare them to successfully interview for software engineering roles at Palantir and other tech firms. Curriculum will include interactive sessions on technical and open-ended problem solving, systems design, sessions on how to navigate behavioral interviews, how to bring your authentic self to work, advocating for yourself, creating community and belonging, etc., along with resume critiques. Programing may be completed alongside other commitments (classes, work, internship, etc.), and we estimate the time requirements with us to be 3-5 hours per week. Every Fellow who has completed the program will be invited to an accelerated interview process for a Palantir internship or full-time opportunity. We encourage students attending US-based Minority Serving Institutions to apply.The Future Fellowship is open to any student who meets all of the eligibility criteria below:
