Kentucky Students are Tomorrow's Leaders




Research has demonstrated that success after high school, whether it is in college or the workplace, is strongly linked to the types of course students take throughout their high school years. [More]

The Kentucky Scholars Initiative helps students ensure post-graduation success by providing a clear road map of courses designed to meet the changing expectations of today's employers, college and university officials.

The message of the Kentucky Scholars program is presented to students via the very community and business representatives likely to be future employers. Students who complete the Scholars Course of Study are more successful in college and careers than those who meet only basic graduation requirements.
