KEES- Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship
Many Students and their parents are unware that they are earning free scholarship money for each year of their high school career. The Kentucky Higher Educational Assistance Authority (KHEAA) has developed a program to assist all Kentucky students with post-secondary education plans.
Your KEES money is based on your grade point (GPA) each year. Students must earn at least a 2.5 GPA to acquire scholarship money. Each summer, beginning after their freshman year, students should check their KEES account by logging onto the website. If any discrepancies are suspected, the student should contact the school Registrar. ACT. The total amount may be used at any approved Kentucky college, university, or technical school, for tuition, books, and other expenses. The scholarship is renewable based on a student’s college GPA.
