KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Academic Scholarship Program at Kentucky State University is designed to recognize and reward students who have exemplified academic excellence. Scholarships recipients are identified by the B.R.E.D.S. Office to entering students who have not completed a bachelor's degree program. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and are renewable for subsequent semesters when criteria are met. The scholarship allocations provided below reflect implementation for year one.
*Scholarship discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other institutional scholarships/awards. The scholarship discount will be reduced by the amount of any federal grant and/or external scholarship eligibility. In a case where two institutional scholarship discounts are offered, the scholarship of greater value will be included as part of the financial aid package. Refunds cannot be generated from institutional discounts.
+Scholarship discounts can be used in conjunction with other institutional scholarships up to the direct cost of attendance (tuition – up to 18 credit hours, mandatory fees, standard housing and meals – if residing on campus). Scholarships may be reduced by the dollar amount of any federal grant and/or external scholarship. Refunds cannot be generated from institutional discounts.
