The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is currently gearing up for the 2013 Heels for Success program and we need your help identifying this year’s outstanding scholars. This email is just a “save the date” so that you can plan ahead for the nomination process. You will be receiving further nomination details in early January.
What is Heels for Success?
Heels for Success is a one-day summer program to help academically-talented, risingsophomores and juniors prepare for college. Over the course of the day, students will learn techniques for approaching the SAT, explore the Carolina campus and its wide-ranging academic opportunities, as well as learn how to manage the college application process. They’ll also get the chance to connect with other outstanding students from across the country.
Who is eligible for nomination?
Heels for Success is designed for high achieving rising sophomores and juniors from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented students, first-generation college students, and those from rural areas or disadvantaged backgrounds. Students should be academically motivated, rank in the top 10% of their class, be enrolled in a curriculum that includes (or will include) AP/IB/dual enrollment courses, foreign language, and advanced mathematics. Heels for Success nominees should show active involvement in extracurricular activities and have demonstrated leadership.
How do I nominate students?
Counselors will be asked to nominate students in January. Additionally, counselors are asked to email or fax transcripts for each student nominated no later than February 12, 2013. Further instructions on the nomination process will be emailed in early January.
Does UNC offer other similar programs for high school seniors?
Yes! Please also be on the lookout for information about the 2013 Project Uplift program that is specifically geared towards rising high school seniors.
Please let us know if you have any questions about either of these programs atUNCdiversity@admissions.unc.
Sincerely,
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
