POLICY STATEMENT:

As part of the state-supported system of higher education in Kentucky, Kentucky State University (KSU) is governed by 13 KAR 2:045, which establishes uniform procedures for determining residency for tuition and admission purposes.

Veterans, active-duty military, their spouses, and dependents may qualify for in-state tuition regardless of State, State, or State Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 and Federal Statutes under Title 38.
