Class of Kentucky (for High School Sophomores)
Class of Kentucky honors one top sophomore from each high school in the state. More than 200 students participate in the program each year. Each of the students are featured in television spots on WKYT-TV, WYMT-TV, WBKO-TV, and WAVE-TV throughout the state. The program at UK introduced them to college life and the University of Kentucky.
Class of Kentucky represents a partnership between UK, CHA Health and WKYT-TV. Its purpose is to promote and recognize the outstanding achievements of the Commonwealth's best and brightest students. Students are selected by their high school based on academic record, community service and leadership within their school.
UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. said that the students honored through Class of Kentucky are recruited by colleges and universities around the country, but that UK believes it is critical to the state's future that most of them stay in Kentucky.
Please contact your High School Guidance Counselor or the UK Office of Undergraduate Admissions, Recruitment Office, for more information about how to be considered for this exciting UK program.
