The Academic Scholarship Program at Kentucky State University is designed to recognize and reward students who have exemplified academic excellence. Scholarships are awarded by the Admissions Office to entering students who have not completed a bachelor’s degree program. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis, and many are renewable for subsequent semesters.
Scholarship awards are based upon a number of criteria including cumulative grade point average (4.0 scale) composite ACT or SAT scores and acceptance
into the university.
Located on page 2 are the types and eligibility requirements of Academic Scholarships available at Kentucky State University.
