First Year Scholarships
Scholarships for first-year students are awarded on the basis of the student's high school grade point average, ACT or SAT scores, writing ability and leadership potential. The scholarship application gives a good overview of each applicant's development in those areas. The First Year College of Agriculture scholarship application is now available on-line.

1. Apply for admission to the University of Kentucky with a major in the College of Agriculture by the January 15 deadline. (For more information about applying to UK, see Admissions.)
   
   
2. Complete the First-Year Scholarship Application. This application is available in PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. This application may be printed out or typed on-line.
