MSU to host Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program

Morehead State University will host the Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program.

MSU is in its second year of a three-year contract with the program.

The scholars arrive on campus, Sunday, June 18, with numerous activities planned for the 380 students throughout their stay.

"We are elated to have the Governor’s Scholars Program back at Morehead State,” said President Wayne D. Andrews. “We are excited about having several hundred of Kentucky's top high school students on our campus this summer for this prestigious activity. The GSP leadership knows that we are committed to providing outstanding staff and facility support and to sharing our famous Morehead hospitality."

The Governor’s Scholars Program is a five-week, residential summer program for outstanding Kentucky students who have completed their junior year in high school. Established in 1983, the program provides academic and personal growth in a challenging, nontraditional environment that balances a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and residential life experience.

Students must complete an application and compete with others from across the state. Those selected attend the program free of charge.

GSP will conclude with a closing ceremony on July 22.

Other host campuses are Murray State University and Northern Kentucky University.
