Dual Credit Scholars

Get a head start on your college goals as a high school student through the University of Kentucky Next Generation Scholars dual credit program.

If you are a student at a participating high school, you can apply to take courses through the Commonwealth’s flagship university. These courses are designed and taught by world-class UK faculty largely in collaboration with teachers at your school. This unique collaboration approach has led to high levels of success for prior students in the program. 

All dual credit courses are offered at a reduced tuition rate. Students at partner schools are eligible for scholarships for a limited number of dual credit courses. Visit Kentucky Dual Credit Scholarship page from KHEAA to learn more about these scholarships. 

Participating schools are part of the Next Generation Scholars Dual Credit Network, which connects them with the robust resources of the Center for Next Generation Leadership in the College of Education. For more than a decade, the center has worked closely with Kentucky’s public schools as partners in improving education.
