2016 Governor's Scholars:
Scholarship Information Needed

The Governor's Scholars Program needs your help!  In order for us to provide information to our supporters regarding the return in investment, we are collecting data about 2016 Scholar enrollment and scholarships.
 
Your school has received a scholarship information packet in the mail.  If you have already completed this information for your counselor, thank you!  If not, you can submit your information through the GSP website.
 
As you know, part of the mission of the Governor's Scholars Program emphasizes inspiring our most talented young leaders to continue to excel academically as they pursue higher education and beyond.  This goal is of particular interest to the future of the state of Kentucky and helps our Program maximize the number of scholars able to participate. 

Application and Selection Training

In recognition of all that Guidance Counselors, School Administrators, and GSP Coordinators provide for the Governor's Scholars Program, we would like to offer them a valuable professional development opportunity.  We will be hosting special training sessions for Guidance Counselors, GSP Coordinators, and school and district administrators to equip them with all of the information, tips, and advice that they need to help their juniors compile their best possible GSP application.  These workshops will take place on each of the three GSP campuses as follow:
 
GSP-Murray State University campus              Tuesday, July 11th       2:00 - 4:00 p.m. (CDT)

GSP-Northern Kentucky University campus  Wednesday, July 12th  2:00 - 4:00 p.m. (EDT)

GSP-Morehead State University campus         Thursday, July 13th      2:00 - 4:00 p.m. (EDT)

 
For more information and to download the registration materials, please visit the GSP website and share the information with school officials in your community.
