SINGLETARY SCHOLARS

Students who are awarded the prestigious Otis A. Singletary Scholarship are also automatically enrolled in the Honors Academy at UK. With the generous funding of this scholarship, students complete Honors courses, including a unique service-learning course (HON 100), through the program, and are given dedicated guidance towards opportunities and resources at the university and beyond.

Singletary Scholars enjoy the special community-building experience of developing and executing service work within the group of scholars, using their considerable talents and inclination toward service to give back to the communities they value. In the past ten years, Singletary Scholars have provided service for Habitat for Humanity, Appalachian Children's Center, University of Kentucky Arboretum, Staff Appreciation at UK, UK's Professional Education Preparation Program (PEPP), Kentucky Children's Hospital, Lexington Rescue Mission, East 7th Street Center's Urban Impact program, AIDS Volunteer of Lexington (AVOL), and International Book Project.
