2018 UF Freshman Honors Program

UF posted my daughter was accepted to Honors and Research Scholars Program. My understanding was the Honors program application was AFTER acceptance. Anyone else.

My daughter got that too. We are OOS and hoping it’s a good sign she may get some merit aid.

I was too. I think they did a preliminary sweep for it this year, offering the best they accepted an instant acceptance to the honors program, and then offered the second best tier of applicants a chance to apply for it. I’m just happy I no longer have to fill out an application for it.

This is from a UF Honors advisor on the UF Honors FB group:
Hi all! Here’s some info that is brand new for this year’s class:

The Office of Admissions selected a small group of seniors who fell into a certain standardized test score range for the Admissions Honors Scholarship which includes auto-admission into the Honors Program. We are still continuing with our regular admissions process into the Honors Program – that application opened today and will be available through March 1.

We will be contacting the admissions honors scholarship recipients with more information about the Honors Program as soon as we have the list from Admissions. Those students will still need to confirm their participation in Honors by May 1.

We don’t have any of the logistical info on the admissions scholarship, so anyone who has questions about that should contact Admissions directly. Hope that helps!

Very cool. My son received the same info.
