High school students can now take dual credit courses with a new scholarship

Students at Kentucky’s public high schools can take advantage of a new dual credit scholarship during the 2016-2017 school year. This program was initially announced by Gov. Bevin and Education and Workforce Development Secretary Hal Heiner on June 1.  Dual credit allows students to earn high school and college credit for passing classes offered by colleges. The new scholarship provides $52 per credit hour for up to two dual credit classes taken at a Kentucky college during the school year.
