Palantir launched the Global Impact Scholarship to celebrate and support students from across the globe who are beginning careers in technology.

We especially encourage students from communities that are historically underrepresented in the field of technology to apply.

This year, 10 scholarship recipients will be chosen and invited to participate in our virtual professional development program, designed to prepare them to successfully launch their careers in technology. Every scholarship recipient who has completed the program will be invited to interview for a Palantir internship or full-time opportunity in 2023.

All recipients will be awarded grants of $7,000 to support their education.
