The Kentucky Ag Athlete of the Year scholarship program is open to graduating seniors who are involved in Kentucky agriculture and participate in one or more KHSAA sports or sport activities during the 2023-2024 school year.
To qualify, students must be accepted to a college, university, or trade school following graduation. An agriculture major is not required, but preference will be given to Kentucky colleges.
Two students, one male and one female, will be named Outstanding Kentucky Ag Athletes of the Year and will be awarded $2,000 scholarships. Four students, two males and two females, will be awarded $1,000 scholarships as Kentucky Ag Athletes of the Year.
Winners will be announced at the 2024 UK HealthCare Boys’ Sweet Sixteen in March at Rupp Arena in Lexington.
The scholarships are funded by the KDA’s “Ag Tag” program, which is funded by voluntary donations from Kentucky motorists when they buy or renew their farm vehicle license plates.
Student-athletes must apply online by Dec. 31.
