Current and Transfer Student Application

Applications for the Fall 2026 semester have closed.

The Spring 2027 application window will open December 16, 2026.

See details below:

 

Requirements:

Current students interested in joining the Fulbright College Honors Program must have completed one regular semester (fall/spring) with minimum full-time enrollment of 12 hours on the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville campus and have earned a cumulative GPA 3.75 or higher.

Transfer students with a 3.75 GPA from their previous institution and a minimum of 24 hours of transfer credits coming in are also welcome to apply. As a transfer student, you should wait to apply until your final transcripts from all previous institutions have been received and posted to Workday.

All current and transfer students must have at least four full semesters left at the university in order to complete the honors capstone project. If you believe you are an exception, please email us at arschnrs@uark.edu.

How to apply:

To apply for the Fulbright College Honors Program, you must first fill out this interest form.

The interest form can be filled out at any time. This form is NOT for New Freshmen- please visit the Honors College website for more information on how to apply as a New Freshman student.

Applications for Spring 2027 will open December 16th and close January 15th at 4:00 PM. 

Once you have filled out the Interest Form, you can fill out the Honors College Workday application. (You can find instructions on how to do so here.) We will then review your application and grades, and once your credentials have been verified, you will recieve further instructions from our office. All Workday Applications received before December 16th will be sent back.

Once accepted, students are highly encouraged to add an honors course to their schedule for the upcoming semester to meet upcoming milestones.

Note: If you are a current honors student who recently changed to Fulbright from a different college (ex. Walton, Bumpers, Engineering, etc.), you will need to reapply to honors during the dates above.
