The CU Bluegrass Guarantee Scholarship helps make a Christ-centered college education more accessible by providing 100% tuition coverage for eligible Kentucky students through a combination of scholarships and financial aid.
Designed for first-time, full-time freshmen who are Kentucky residents, Pell Grant eligible, and have a minimum 3.0 cumulative unweighted high school GPA, this scholarship helps make your college education more affordable. Available to qualifying students attending the Campbellsville campus or CU Online, the CU Bluegrass Guarantee allows you to focus on what matters most: pursuing your education, discovering your purpose, and preparing for a meaningful future.
Who Qualifies for the CU Bluegrass Guarantee?
The CU Bluegrass Guarantee Scholarship is designed to help eligible Kentucky students pursue their college education with greater financial confidence. Qualifying first-time, full-time students may be eligible whether they attend Campbellsville University's main campus or enroll through CU Online. Additional financial aid and scholarship requirements apply.

Maintaining Your CU Bluegrass Guarantee Scholarship
The CU Bluegrass Guarantee Scholarship is renewable for up to three additional years (six academic semesters), helping eligible students continue their education with greater financial confidence. To maintain the scholarship, students must meet the following requirements each year.
Academic and Enrollment Requirements
Maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative college GPA and remain enrolled full-time. Students who drop to part-time enrollment or stop attending forfeit scholarship eligibility.
Financial Aid Requirements

How Does the CU Bluegrass Guarantee Cover Tuition?
The CU Bluegrass Guarantee Scholarship uses a last-dollar funding approach to help eligible students receive up to 100% tuition coverage.
This means available federal and state grants, institutional scholarships, performance grants (such as athletic, theater, art, music, and band scholarships), and other awarded financial aid are applied toward tuition first. The CU Bluegrass Guarantee then helps cover any remaining eligible tuition costs, up to 100%.
What's Not Covered?
While the scholarship helps eliminate tuition expenses for qualifying students, it does not cover room and board, textbooks, or additional fees. Students should plan for these expenses when preparing their college budgets.
