- Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)
- The KEES program rewards Kentucky students for good grades in high school. Beginning in the 1998-99 school year, students who make a C+ average or better will qualify for KEES funds. The better students do, the more money they will earn for college. Bonus funds are awarded for students who make a 15 or better on the ACT.
- KEES scholarships can be used at any Kentucky college or university, private or public.
- For more information, contact your high school guidance counselor.
