flag Palantir's Meritocracy Fellowship offers high school grads a college-free tech and leadership path with real-world work, challenging traditional education norms.

flag Palantir Technologies has launched the Meritocracy Fellowship, a four-month program for high school graduates offering a college alternative through intensive training in tech and leadership, followed by real-world project work in fields like defense and healthcare. flag Selected from over 500 applicants, 22 participants completed a four-week seminar on history, culture, and leadership before joining Palantir teams. flag The initiative, led by CEO Alex Karp, challenges the traditional value of higher education, emphasizing merit and practical skills over degrees. flag While Palantir has not disclosed how many fellows will receive full-time offers, the program reflects a growing tech industry trend toward de-emphasizing college credentials.
