Twelve from area named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 12:26 PM EDT Print this story | Email this story
Twelve area students have been named Sen. Jeff Green Scholars. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.

As Sen. Jeff Green scholars, these students are eligible for $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship awards. Students may receive up to $10,000 toward their college expenses if they continue to do well in school.

The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of Mayfield, who served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997.

Area students who earned this prestigious designation include:

• Bracken County High School, Adriana Ruf;

• Fleming County High School, Kendall Corbin, Brittany Hedges and Grant Schwartz;

• Lewis County High School, Elizabeth Mays;

• Mason County High School, Kellie Crump, Elizabeth Dobson, Alexandria Fisher, Lyndsey Meek, Zachary Ruble and Bethany Sparks; an

• St. Patrick High School, Amy Appelman.

KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery proceeds and may be used at most colleges and universities in Kentucky. In some cases, the award may be used at out-of-state schools if the major the student is pursuing is not available in Kentucky. No application is necessary for KEES awards, and students may access their KEES account information on www.kheaa.com by setting up a Zip Access account.
