Governor's Scholar program. The Program’s mission is to enhance Kentucky’s next generation of civic and economic leaders. 
The Governor’s Scholars Program is a program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors. It offers academic and personal growth through the balance of a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and summer residential life experience. In order to participate in the Program, students must be nominated by their high schools and then compete on a state-wide level. Selection for the program is highly competitive, with an application process similar to that of prestigious colleges and universities. Students who are selected attend the Program without charge.
