Our Alamo Fellows
As a program serving first-generation college students, we are focused on building diverse, inclusive, and equitable access to professional opportunities for talent in San Antonio. As trailblazers in their families and communities, many first-generation students navigate their educational journeys with less access to social and cultural capital than students who come from multiple generations of college-goers. San Antonio colleges and universities serve more first-generation college students than any other metro area in the US.
The Alamo Fellows program supports first-generation college students’ professional development by increasing their connections in our city and community. The program exposes Fellows to a variety of non-profit, public, and private organizations that lead economic growth in our city.
