UK Scholarships
KENTUCKY...
It can be expensive sending your child to college, but Republic Bank is trying to ease the burden by giving away 20 four-year scholarships to the University of Kentucky. According to a press release from Republic Bank, each Republic Bank Foundation Commonwealth Scholarship will provide $2,500 per year in a renewable annual scholarship; the total assistance for each student is $10,000 toward the cost of a four-year degree program, or just over 12 percent of the cost of the student's education. Republic Bank has made a four year initial commitment. The students picked will come from the 12 Kentucky counties that Republic Bank operates in. The first scholarships will be awarded next fall for the 2011-12 school year.
