Samford University invites your students to apply for the University Fellows Program ? Samford?s highly-selective honors program. Benefits of the program include:
 * a unique Great Books core curriculum
 * study abroad trip to Italy during sophomore year
 * funding for undergraduate research through the Alabama Power Foundation
 * access to top faculty in classes of no more than 14 students
 * priority registration for all classes (including study abroad courses)

If you are not very familiar with Samford, you may also want to visit our admission site at [|__www.samford.edu/admission__] <[|__http://www.samford.edu/admission__]> to learn more about what makes Samford such a distinctive university.

Who is eligible to apply for the University Fellows Program? Our program is looking for intellectually curious students who enjoy discussing ideas in multiple disciplines. Applicants need at least a 28 ACT or 1260 SAT (Math & Critical Reading). Students with honors or advanced-level courses make particularly strong candidates. Last year, 200 students applied, and we cap enrollment in the program at 40 students per year.

How do my students apply? The UFP does require a separate application for admission (due by December 15, 2009). The application <[|__http://fellows.publishpath.com/apply-now__]> is available online and may be submitted electronically.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail along to any students you think would make good candidates for the University Fellows Program. As always, we appreciate all that you do to help students find the college that best matches their unique interests and abilities.

Sincerely,

Ashley Floyd Associate Director, University Fellows Program Samford University (205) 726-4203 [|__www.samford.edu/fellows__]
