Animal Science student is Bodenhamer Fellow

Kathleen Williams

Kathleen Williams of Jonesboro, one of six new Bodenhamer Fellows enrolled for this fall at the University of Arkansas, has registered as an animal science major in the pre-veterinary medicine program.

Williams graduated from Jonesboro High School, where her academic interests included veterinary medicine and environmental soil and water studies. She has participated in Llama Drama with Heifer Project International and is active in many recycling projects.

Bodenhamer Fellowships are worth up to $50,000 for four years of study or up to $62,500 for five years if the student is pursuing an accredited five-year degree program. The fellowship covers tuition and fees, room and board, the purchase of books and supplies, and additional benefits of the student's choice, such as study abroad, attendance at professional and educational conferences, research and special equipment.

Students must have a minimum score of 32 on the ACT and at least a 3.8 grade point average to qualify for the fellowship, but beyond that the competition is not about grades and scores. Students are required to prepare essays about their academic and community interests, along with letters of recommendation. The Bodenhamer selection committee reads these carefully, and interviews the candidates to find students who are intellectually curious, have a passion about a particular subject or social concern and have demonstrated leadership abilities.

The Bodenhamer Foundation, acting through its trustee, Lee Bodenhamer (B.S.B.A. 1957, M.B.A. 1961), established the Bodenhamer Fellowships at the University of Arkansas for incoming freshmen. The Bodenhamer endowment will enable the university to award six Bodenhamer fellowships each year.
