Do you know a graduating senior who is interested in Engineering? Math? CAD? Building structures or roadways? If so, we have an exceptional scholarship opportunity available! The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet offers two scholarship programs geared toward civil engineering. These scholarships provide money for college, paid summer employment while in school, and full-time employment after college graduation. This opportunity can’t be beat!! Applications are now being accepted and the deadline is March 1. Below you will find a brief description. More details and the applications can be found on our website athttp://transportation.ky.gov/Education/Pages/Scholarships.aspx. Please contact me if you have any questions.
The Civil Engineering Scholarship Program is for students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Western KY University, University of Louisville, or University of Kentucky. Students can also take classes at other Kentucky state colleges/universities, with approved programs, before transferring to WKU, UofL, or UK. Candidates must have an ACT composite score of 24 and maintain a GPA of 2.5 while in college. College Freshmen and Sophomores currently receive $5750 a semester to apply towards tuition, books, etc. Juniors and Seniors receive $6150 a semester. Students are expected to work for the Cabinet upon graduation for each year they received a stipend. This scholarship can be worth over $47,000!
The Civil Engineering Technology Program is for students interested in pursuing an associate’s degree in civil engineering technology at Big Sandy Community & Technical College in Prestonsburg and Blue Grass Community & Technical College in Lexington. (We are currently working on developments to expand this program to western Kentucky.) Candidates must meet the entrance qualifications for the college and maintain a GPA of 2.5. Students receive $2750 a semester, and are expected to work for the Cabinet upon graduation for each year they received a stipend.

Just a quick reminder that Gene Weiss, KHEAA Outreach Counselor will be at PRP HS to help students/families with FAFSA.gov on Thursday evening (15th). I will arrive by 5:45pm, give or take, and planned to stay until 7:30pm, or as long as is needed that evening.
As a ‘College Goal KY’ event, we will need to record names, and have attending families complete a survey when finished, but, by their attendance, they will also be eligible for one of the four $500 scholarships that will be offered to persons participating in these ‘College Goal KY’ events.
Remember, the State Grant funding (both the State C.A.P. grant, and the State K.T.G. grant for students attending a private college in Kentucky) will likely be depleted around February 1st. ALL students who are “free-reduced” lunch WILL be eligible for either or both of those State grants to attend schools in Kentucky. Nearly every senior in the class may be eligible for the State K.T.G. grant, if they are considering a ‘private,’ in-state college!
