Alamo Fellows is a talent retention program that identifies first-generation STEM majors in their junior year, attending our local four-year colleges and universities in San Antonio. Alamo Fellows aims to facilitate community, career, and social/professional connections through a two-year fellowship to retain talented students after graduation in the SATX region.
