Scholarships Office

There are a number of scholarships through private funds that are administered in the Eastern Kentucky University Foundation and are awarded each year to currently enrolled students. Most of these awards are based on academic credentials such as: GPA, number of hours earned, and curriculum. Some of the endowed scholarships are need based and have other specific criteria.
Currently enrolled students must submit a completed application and two letters of recommendation to the Scholarship Office by the April 1st deadline. Late applications are accepted, however, priority will be given to those who applied prior to the deadline.
Current students are also encouraged to check with the Department(s) of your intended academic major or program of interest for other scholarship possibilities.
Eastern Kentucky University does not make multiple institutional awards. Recipients who qualify for an academic scholarship in a different category will receive the scholarship with the highest monetary value.
