High Schoolers Attend Governor's Scholars Program
Kentucky Ag Connection - 08/21/2019
The Governor's Scholars Program, within the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet (EWDC), recognized 1,024 outstanding Kentucky high school students, representing 118 counties, for completing the 37th Governor's Scholars Summer Program.
The Governor's Scholars Program is a summer residential program for outstanding high school students focused on enhancing Kentucky's next generation of civic and economic leaders through educational and career opportunities.
"The Governor's Scholars Program is a nationally recognized program that has helped foster the next generation of Kentucky leaders," said EWDC Secretary Derrick Ramsey. "For 37 years, GSP has provided unique opportunities for the high school students to
exchange ideas, learn new disciplines, and interact with peers from different regions of our state."
To participate in the program, a statewide selection committee chooses participants based upon nominations submitted by each Kentucky school district. Selection criteria is based upon academic records and test scores, teacher and community
recommendations, extracurricular and service activities, and a writing entry. The program is available at no cost to eligible students.
This year, the program was hosted at Centre College; Morehead State University; and Bellarmine University.
Scholars balanced a busy academic schedule in the sciences, mathematics, social sciences, humanities and the arts with a variety of co-curricular and residential activities. They also participated in community projects, seminars, and other student-initiated
activities throughout the five week program.
