In the spring of 2021, I was granted the honor of being an Honors College Fellow at the University of Arkansas. This prestigious opportunity was granted to 79 incoming freshman. The Honors College offers fellows a full-tuition scholarship in addition to funding extracurricular opportunities such as study abroad and research. The fellowship application requires a score of 32 or above on the ACT, a high school GPA of 3.90 or above, and strong academic performance in a rigorous high school curriculum. I am so thankful for this wonderful opportunity from the Honors College! https://news.uark.edu/articles/57163/u-of-a-honors-college-selects-2021-class-of-honors-college-fellows
