Early College Programs

A wonderful opportunity for Lloyd students!

Lloyd High School offers eligible juniors and seniors to participate in the Early College and Technical Education programs through Northern Kentucky University and Gateway Community & Technical College. The Gateway Dual Credit classes are typically held on the Gateway campuses and most of the NKU classes are taught by our teachers or visiting NKU professors at Lloyd. These courses count as both a high school credit AND a college credit. Some courses may be offered online as well or on the NKU campus.

Scholarship and Cost Information:

Two state scholarships are available to help pay your tuition for eligible dual credit courses:

Work Ready Dual Credit Kentucky Scholarship

Ready to be a full-time college student in high school?

Earn college credit during your last two years of high school!

The Young Scholars Academy is a selective partnership between the Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services, Northern Kentucky University, and partner school districts.

A limited number of scholars are selected to take a full-time college course load on NKU’s campus for their final two years of high school. YSA students are completely immersed in NKU's campus life while also working in small cohorts of like-minded peers.

Some scholars work toward specific degrees, while others explore interests. Every scholar has the opportunity to tailor the experience to their unique goals. By the end of the program, most students will have approximately 60 college credit hours. Some scholars may use those hours towards their bachelor's degree, while others earn the AAIS degree through NKU!
