Dear Professor Reps,

I hope you're having a great week!

By way of a quick introduction, my name is Abhi Ramesh, and I co-founded The Horizons Fellowship - a fully-funded technology immersion fellowship for top university students from around the world.

If you get a moment, please browse this pdf to read more about the success stories of our Fellows. Thanks to forward-thinking professors like you, we are able to help students create amazing outcomes like these - thank you!

I would be thrilled and honored if you could forward out this opportunity to interested students in your department. Our programs are open to students of any year and any major - we encourage candidates with diverse backgrounds and interests to apply!

Thank you,
Abhi Ramesh

The Horizons Fellowship
The Horizons Fellowship supports 10 outstanding university students in their pursuit to become leaders in technology. The program provides immersive software engineering and web/mobile development courses geared towards high-achieving college students. Students need not have a computer science background! Our curriculum, developed by ex-Salesforce and Optimizely engineers alongside PhD candidates in computer science, is designed to teach students how to build web, mobile, and desktop applications. We have 4-month semester programs and 3-month summer programs in cities across the U.S.

Horizons students have gone on to receive offers from firms such as Google, Facebook, Slack, Yelp, McKinsey, BCG, Visa, J.P. Morgan, and more

Our Horizons Speaker Series brings in successful founders, investors, and technologists into the classroom. You'll hear from some of the industry's foremost experts. We've had some amazing speakers like the founders of Zenefits, Coinbase, Digital Ocean, Andela, X.ai, Shapeways, and more.

Past Horizonites have come from a variety of schools and backgrounds. Students have hailed from Harvard, Princeton, UPenn/Wharton, Columbia, Northwestern, Brown, Michigan and more. We've welcomed National Math Olympiad winners, USA Computing Olympiad participants, renowned college entrepreneurs, students with perfect SAT/ACT scores, talented designers, photographers, and more as part of our previous cohort.
