For more than a decade, the First Degree Scholarship program has funded scholarships for eligible Kentucky high school seniors to attend any two- or four-year accredited college or university. As the name suggests, the scholarship is awarded to eligible students who intend be the first in their immediate families to complete a postsecondary degree.
One scholarship each will be awarded to two male and two female students, drawn from a pool of eligible nominees from across the state.
These nonrenewable $2,500 scholarships will be paid directly to the institution of higher education upon the recipients’ official admission acceptances.
Eligible students are those who would be the first members of their immediate families (parents, guardians, siblings) to receive a degree from an institution of higher education. Eligibility also requires the nominee(s) to have obtained an ACT reading score of at least 20 as a junior or senior.
Please see Mrs. Boone by NOVEMBER 1st to be considered for nomination.
