IMPORTANT: After you submit your application, keep a copy for your records. Refer to Helpful Hints at gsp.ky.gov
To be eligible to apply and be selected as a Governor’s Scholar, a student must:
• Be in the 11th grade at the time of selection and intend to return to a Kentucky school district for the next school term (Students skipping their senior year to enter college are not eligible.);
• Be a current resident of Kentucky;
• Have taken the ACT, PSAT, or SAT in the 9th, 10th, or 11th grades.
After completion of their own Governor’s Scholars application, students must be selected and sent by their school districts or private schools to be considered for the statewide selection process. If selected, Scholars attend the program free of charge, needing only “pocket” money for personal and incidental expenses. The 2027 program will be held on three campus sites: Centre College in Danville, Morehead State University in Morehead, and Murray State University in Murray. Governor’s Scholars are drawn from across Kentucky and represent the diversity of the Commonwealth.
