Opening the Doors of Opportunity

The Robinson Scholars Program serves first generation college-bound and college students who have demonstrated the potential to succeed but who might encounter economic, cultural, or institutional impediments to their completion of four-year college degrees. The Program's mission is to provide these students with support services and scholarship resources that empower them to complete a baccalaureate degree at the University of Kentucky and thereby increase the educational capital of their communities.

“We not only want our Scholars to grow academically as a result of these programs, but personally as well. That's why we bring attention to many important issues in Eastern Kentucky and then challenge them to make a difference in their communities.”

—Steve Jones, Director
