How It Works

Champions commit to giving annually for four years, helping cover a wide range of needs: tuition, textbooks, and transformational experiences such as research, education abroad and internships. Champions scholars are also supported through the College’s First Gen Trailblazers Program, which offers mentoring, professional development and a strong sense of community.

Leadership level donors who pledge $5,000 annually for four years also have the opportunity to name a Champions Scholar fund to recognize your support for Kentucky students.
