Palantir's Meritocracy Fellowship: Skipping College for Tech

Palantir Technologies launches its second Meritocracy Fellowship, an internship for eighteen-year-old high school graduates, aiming to bring raw talent into the tech industry. The program, which offers a monthly stipend of $5,400, reflects a growing skepticism about the necessity of college degrees. The first group saw over 500 applicants, with several receiving full-time job offers. Palantir values technical ability, initiative, and maturity over academic credentials, believing this program could disrupt the university system.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
