Palantir opened applications for the second Meritocracy Fellowship, a months-long New York City internship for 18-year-old recent high school graduates. The first cohort drew over 500 applicants, produced 22 fellows, and will yield several immediate full-time offers in December. The second cohort runs August–December 2026 with a $5,400 monthly stipend. The program positions work and building as an alternative to a four-year college timeline.
