The University of Kentucky offers renewable academic, competitive and selective scholarship opportunities for incoming first-time freshmen. Completed admission application and all supporting documents, including high school transcript, must be received as soon as possible, but by no later than December 1, 2024*, for scholarship consideration. Once admitted, eligible students are automatically considered for academic scholarships. Combined test scores (superscore) are not considered. For all scholarships listed, students may receive only one award. Scholarship awards are limited and will be offered pending early application and availability of funds. In previous years, funds have been exhausted before the December 1* deadline.
The University of Kentucky is committed to making scholarship opportunities available to students who qualify, whether they apply with or without test scores. The University of Kentucky is a national leader in using extensive data assessment beyond test scores to evaluate students for scholarship awarding, including heavily weighing a student’s unweighted high school GPA. All eligible students who apply by the Early Action deadline of December 1, 2024*, regardless of applying with or without an ACT/SAT test score, will be considered for academic scholarships. For fullest consideration, we urge students to apply as soon as possible and prior to December 1, 2024*.

*If a deadline falls on a weekend, the deadline is extended until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time the following Monday.
