Brown Fellows Program
"The Brown Fellows Program is a prestigious enrichment program aimed at preparing gifted students for 21st century careers. It is a single initiative that spans two Kentucky campuses, Centre College and the University of Louisville. Brown Fellows receive full tuition, room and board and will participate in an extraordinary summer program featuring international travel as a group before freshman year. Fellows also receive an enhanced academic experience consisting of individual study, field-based experiential learning and community service. Each student will have an on-campus mentor, engage in year-round enrichment opportunities and manage a customized leadership project. In successive years, the program will focus increasingly on the individual student in order to provide a more tailored summer enrichment program in thematic areas of service, international research, and leadership.
Eligibility and selection criteria include scholastic attainment/intellectual leadership (ACT 31+), well-rounded leadership with a passion for excellence, courage and perseverance through adversity, and a willingness and ability to serve as an ambassador for Kentucky."

ALL Juniors should take the ACT at least once this year. I recommend taking it two to three times this year. If a student can achieve the score they want during their junior year, then the senior year can be focused on college applications and scholarships. See the ACT page for test dates and registration deadlines.
