Scholarships
EKU awards numerous scholarships based on academic merit, special talents or accomplishments, and need. Eligibility for need-based scholarships and other forms of assistance is determined by your family’s income and whether other family members are also attending a postsecondary institution.
The College of Justice & Safety also offers an academic scholarship for students majoring in one of our programs. This scholarship provides $1,250 per semester, which may be renewed a maximum of seven times. (Renewal is contingent upon continued outside funding of scholarships). To receive a College of Justice & Safety academic scholarship application, contact the Office of Student & Alumni Services at 859.622.8325 or email Elizabeth Ballou.
