KSBA First Degree College Scholarship Program (application)

The board of directors of the Kentucky School Boards Association will fund two $2,500 scholarships for eligible Kentucky high school seniors to attend any two- or four-year accredited college or university, in state or out. One scholarship each will be awarded to a male and a female student. These nonrenewable 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 attend an institution of higher education. Eligibility must be affirmed and signed by the high school guidance counselor and the school district's board chairperson and superintendent.

Any Kentucky board of education may place in nomination the names of up to two students, one male, one female with a minimum ACT reading score of 20. KSBA will accept receipt of the first two eligible application forms per school district by the deadline noted below (additional forms will be disqualified). The scholarships will be awarded based on a drawing conducted by the KSBA Board of Directors at their December 2017 quarterly board meeting. Applications can be picked up from the guidance office and are due back to guidance office by November 1, 2017.
