Dual Credit Cost and Aid

Kentucky Dual-Credit Scholarship: KHEAA provides a scholarship for public, private, and homeschool students. Students will be eligible to receive scholarships for two general education dual-credit courses each year during the 11^th and 12^th grade years. Award determination is made by KHEAA and students are notified by KHEAA. For more information, please contact KHEAA. Students should work with their school counselor to make their scholarship selections on their KHEAA account. Students who have made selections and anticipate receiving a scholarship may see a balance on their Thomas More account for covered classes. KHEAA does not begin to disburse scholarships for fall term until after October 1 and for spring term until after February 15. If students pay their tuition out-of-pocket and are awarded a scholarship afterward, Thomas More refunds those payments. Students who are taking classes that are not covered by KHEAA scholarships should make their payment by the first day of classes.

Students can utilize KHEAA’s Work Ready Scholarship toward some of their dual-credit coursework; however, approved dual-credit courses for the Work Ready Scholarship are limited to Career and Technical Education (CTE) coursework that is in a career pathway approved by the Kentucky Department of Education as leading to an industry-recognized credential. Eligible students can only use the Work Ready Scholarship toward two eligible courses each school year. Per KHEAA, the following courses qualify for the Work Ready Scholarship:
