Awards will be spread geographically throughout the LG&E and KU Energy LLC operating territory as long as there are qualified applicants.

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,200 award. Up to ten (10) new awards will be granted. Award may be used for tuition, books, fees, supplies and required equipment.
Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon the student maintaining a 3.0 cumulative grade point average in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by LG&E and KU Foundation.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Applicants will be notified in April. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
