|
Help me spread the word! Please forward this message to other home-educators who may be interested and feel free to post the details to any online groups you belong to. Thank you in advance!
Greetings from the University of Kentucky! For those Ive yet to meet, my name is Clay Arnold and Im a 2003 graduate of homeschooling as well as a 2007 graduate of the University of Kentucky. Since then, Ive worked as an admissions counselor and made it a primary goal of mine to reach out to the homeschooling community. I greatly enjoyed my undergraduate career and hope to make other homeschooling families aware of the many opportunities available at UK.
On Friday, August 7th 2009, from 9:00am until 4:00pm, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will host its 2nd Annual Home-Education Appreciation Day, otherwise known as the AHEAD@UK program!
This day, designed for homeschooled juniors and seniors and their families, is a great way to learn about the UK experience. However, the information provided will be beneficial to those in the college selection process no matter where they intend to continue their education. Attendees will have the chance to learn about the college admissions process, academic scholarship requirements, financial aid resources, the Honors Program, undergraduate research opportunities, education abroad and so much more!
Additionally, every student will meet with an advisor in the academic college of his or her choice. Whether you would like to learn more about a particular major or are still narrowing your interests, we would love for you to speak directly with a program representative.
Finally, an optional 90-minute walking tour of campus will be offered after the conclusion of the program. If youve never been to UK or just want to see what a college classroom or residence hall looks like, heres your chance!
All of these great opportunities AND a meal provided by UK Dining Services are available free of charge to any homeschooled junior or senior who submits an RSVP by July 30th!
PLUS, any rising senior who brings a completed UK application for freshman admission will have their $50 application fee waived!!! To take advantage of this, just download and print the application from the following link:
