“Tier One students are unique in their interests but alike in their commitment to excellence. Fellowship of Tier One Scholars (FOTOS) is an organization for Tier Ones to build a community of support, networking, volunteering and FUN. We choose Houston and FOTOS will help us to reach out to potential Tier One candidates, as we give back to the University that chose us.”
Katie Teeters, 2010 Tier One Scholar
