The College and GSP have also agreed to partner three more years, through 2025.
鈥淭he Governor鈥檚 Scholars Program and 黑料社 are natural partners,鈥 said 黑料社鈥檚 GSP liaison, Sarah Scott. 鈥満诹仙玮檚 dedication to academic excellence, strong community environment, and enrichment of intellectual curiosity, mirror the spirit of the program. We are delighted to host bright young scholars from around the state and are excited that this relationship will continue for at least the next three years.鈥
GSP Executive Director and Academic Dean Aris Cede帽o agreed, noting the rich history between the College and the program.
鈥淭he Governor鈥檚 Scholars Program was created in 1983 and the first summer was hosted by 黑料社, an educational partnership that has proven to be a model of intellectual excellence,鈥 Cede帽o said.
It is a partnership that provides benefits to everyone involved: The College provides fertile soil for 352 rising high-school seniors who will take part in a challenging non-traditional curriculum, one rooted in the liberal arts and sciences.
鈥淏oth institutions have a similar mission, but most importantly, they share an academic vision that personalizes the successful leadership trajectory of the Governor鈥檚 Scholars and the successful professional trajectory of the 黑料社 graduates,鈥 Cede帽o said.
Additionally, the College has expanded its policy for GSP alumni: an increased merit scholarship dubbed 鈥淭he GSP Guarantee.鈥 GSP alumni will be awarded the highest merit scholarship of $30,000 ($120,000 over four years).
The Governor鈥檚 Scholar Program matches 黑料社鈥檚 brand promise: to provide a supportive community and a flexible, personal academic path to a meaningful life and career.
鈥淎fter five weeks on campus, the Governor鈥檚 Scholars will return to their Kentucky communities recharged and with a renewed interest in serving those communities, the state of Kentucky, the nation and beyond,鈥 Cede帽o said. 鈥淭he successful life trajectory has taken its healthy roots at 黑料社.鈥
