Scholarships

Daymar College has several scholarships available to qualified and deserving students. Students can apply for scholarship aid by visiting the Financial Aid Office.

Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarships (KEES)
Kentucky high school students who try to get the most from high school by studying diligently and making good grades (C+ and above) can earn scholarships for college through the KEES program. Students earn KEES base awards from a high school GPA of 2.5 or higher and can earn bonus awards for composite scores of 15 or higher on the ACT. Base awards range from $125 to $500, and bonus awards from $36 to $500. Students should contact their high school counselors for additional information.

Imagine America Scholarships
The Imagine America scholarship program, administrated by the Career Training Foundation, offers every high school in the United States the opportunity to nominate one or more of its graduating seniors for a $1,000 scholarship to attend Daymar College. Scholarship nominees are identified by the high school administrators, and the School will decide which nominees will be awarded the scholarship. Students should contact their high school guidance counselors.

Private Scholarships
Many foundations, corporations, churches and service organizations provide funds for student financial aid. Students generally apply directly to the potential donor.

Associate Scholarships
The College offers tuition scholarships to associates, their spouses and their children. These scholarships must be approved by the Director of Education.

Academic Scholarships
All academic scholarships, except alumni scholarships, are for first-time, full-time students enrolled in an Associate Degree program. The scholarships are awarded quarterly, and students must maintain grade point averages of at least 3.0 each quarter in order to continue to receive the scholarship the following quarter. If students fall below a 3.0 grade point average for a given term, their scholarships will be suspended until a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 is once again attained. Scholarships will not be awarded past the maximum time requirements for satisfactory academic progress, beginning the initial term the scholarship was awarded. For extenuating circumstances, exceptions to requirements may be made with the approval of the Director of Education.

Applications for scholarships must be made through the Daymar College Admissions Office. The applicant must meet all other admissions requirements for attending Daymar College, in addition to the specific scholarship requirements. Scholarships will be awarded to the first applicants each quarter who meet all eligibility requirements. All scholarships must be approved by the College Scholarship Selection Committee. No more than one scholarship per quarter will be awarded to any applicant.

Federal Work-Study Program
Students who need jobs to help pay educational costs are potentially eligible for employment by organizations under the federally supported Federal Work-Study Program. In order to qualify, students must demonstrate financial need. The Federal government provides a portion of the students' earnings, and the employer contributes the balance.

Veterans' Services
Daymar College is approved for the enrollment of veterans and other eligible people under the provisions of all current G.I. Bills. For further information, contact the College VA Coordinator.

State Vocational Rehabilitation Services
Students who have a physical or mental disability that is a handicap to employment may be eligible for sponsored training services through their state government agency. Students should consult the local office of the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Satisfactory Progress for Continuation in School and Financial Aid
Federal regulations maintain that to be eligible to receive financial aid, students must be achieving satisfactory progress to ensure completion of their education objectives. A change in a student's enrollment status from full-time to part-time may not totally disqualify a student from financial aid or continuation of enrollment, provided the maximum time requirement is not exceeded and minimum standards for good standing are met.
