Applying for Financial Aid

Students should apply for financial aid for each new award year as soon as possible to receive consideration for grants, student loans, and work-study opportunities. Be sure to discuss financial aid opportunities with our staff when you contact us or come in for a visit.

Applying for Scholarships

At UK Paducah, students can stack scholarships from UK-Paducah, West Kentucky Community and Technical College, and need-based from the University of Kentucky. We want to give you the extra financial edge you need to succeed. Contact Sarita Buchanan for more information.

In addition to UK Paducah Scholarships, Transfer Students are eligible to apply for UK’s Transfer Academic Scholarships.   

ScholarshipUniverse (SU) is an online scholarship platform that matches students to relevant, vetted external scholarship opportunities, as well as internal scholarships offered by the university. Each external scholarship opportunity on SU has gone through an extensive vetting process to ensure the scholarship is offered through a reliable and authentic source.

SU is now open for currently enrolled UK students and admitted prospective students who have a linkblue account. Students can login to complete the student profile and search and apply for external and internal scholarship opportunities. The external scholarship opportunities are available through sources outside of the University of Kentucky.
