Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)
The
KEES program provides scholarships to students who earn at least a 2.5 GPA each year they attend a certified Kentucky high school. The better they perform in high school, the more they earn toward college. Students may also earn awards for ACT/SAT scores, and students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch may also earn awards for qualifying Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge Advanced International (CAI) exam scores. Home school and GED graduates are eligible for awards based on ACT/SAT scores only.
