Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)
The KEES program provides scholarships to students who earn at least a 2.5 GPA each year of attendance at a certified Kentucky high school. The better you do in high school, the more you earn toward college. You may also earn awards for ACT/SAT scores and Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge Advanced International (CAI) test scores. Home school and GED graduates may earn awards based on their ACT scores.
AP/IB/CAI Supplement Award Amounts
If you have been eligible for free or reduced‐price lunch during any year of high school, you can earn a supplemental award if you have received a qualifying score on an Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge Advanced International (CAI) exam. For example, a KEES eligible student who receives a score of 3 on an AP exam and is eligible for free or reduced‐price lunch would earn an additional $200 for each year of college.
