    This week, we're giving an overview of the college admissions process to our cohort of students, as well as facilitating a Q&A session with two of our FTF alumni from last year, who'll share their insights on their first year of college so far! 💫

    The school year is in full gear, but we wanted to throw it back this Thursday to some of the feedback we've received from past First Tech Fund Fellows. We're so excited to continue this work!

    An illustration of three text bubbles contains student feedback to FTF. The first reads, "Needed to hear this today." The second reads, "Thank you so much! Your words inspire." The third reads, "Thanks so much, this was really helpful! I was so lost before but now I feel very knowledgeable. I really appreciate it a lot!"
