<p>Hi!
I was accepted into the Honors program about a month ago, and have since been waiting to hear back from the "Carolina Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship" (CSURF) and "Summer Study Abroad Fellowship" programs. </p>
<p>Has anyone gotten accepted to either of these two programs yet? Should I keep waiting?</p>
<p>We haven’t heard anything. My son put Kenan-Flagler as his first choice. I called and was told that the date by which he would hear is April 15th. </p>
<p>My daughter was notified via email that she was awarded a Study Abroad Scholarship and invited to join the First Year Fellows. Does anyone know how First Year Fellows differ from the Honors College?</p>
<p>As I understand the difference, First Year Fellows is a program for your first year whereby you are invited to special events and lectures and have a guarantee for your choice of an honors first year seminar. Honors Carolina is an ongoing honors program (as long as you remain eligible) providing similar benefits, but, many others as well (priority registration for most honors courses, research, study abroad, etc).</p>
