Horatio Alger Kentucky Scholarships 2027 - $10,000

Horatio Alger Kentucky Scholarships are part of the Horatio Alger Association State Scholarship Program, which awards $10,000 grants to high school juniors who live in Kentucky, attend school there, and have overcome serious adversity while planning a bachelor''s degree. You apply once through the Horatio Alger undergraduate portal, and the same file can qualify you for other Association programmes if you meet their rules. Eligibility mirrors the national model: US citizenship (permanent residents and DACA recipients are excluded), adjusted gross family income of $100,000 or lower, at least a 2.0 GPA, and no minimum SAT or ACT. The junior window for the 2027 cycle runs December 1, 2026 through March 1, 2027, with counselor certification and support forms due shortly after. Funds pay toward any cost-of-attendance line at an accredited nonprofit US college or university.
