Palmer Global Fellows
The Palmer Global Fellows, a program made possible by Thomas and Susan Palmer and other generous donations, offers first-year students in our college enrolled in AR 1000 (first-year orientation course) the opportunity to receive a fully-funded passport, as well as apply for a competitive 4-year cohort focused on international travel. This program encourages first-year Rockets to experience world travel and become global citizens.
