Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship
KEES – Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship

KEES is the KEY to Kentucky's future!

Governor Paul E. Patton and the 1998 General Assembly provided Kentucky high school students a great opportunity to make their education pay with the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)!

KEES is administered by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). Students who try to get the most from high school by studying hard and making good grades (2.5 GPA or higher) can earn scholarships for college or technical school. The better students do in high school, the more they will earn toward college scholarships. And students who complete their college studies have a better opportunity to achieve their career goals and improve their standard of living. Education really does pay!

To find your KEES information go to the the KEES website- http://www.kheaa.com/keeshome.html - then go to Access your KEES account. You will have to type in your social security number and your birthday, then it will show you all your information.

Students who try to get the most from high school by studying hard and making good grades (C+ and above) can earn scholarships for college or technical school.
