Dual enrollment in Kentucky
College credit earned while still in high school. It is the single largest lever on a college bill, and what it costs your family depends almost entirely on which state you are in.
The state covers dual-enrolment tuition, so college credit earned in high school costs your family little or nothing.
Dual Credit Scholarship Program (administered by KHEAA; rate set under Kentucky law)
Free
For the courses covered by the state Dual Credit Scholarship the student pays $0 tuition — the scholarship pays the capped dual credit tuition rate directly. Scope is tight: in 2026-2027 the scholarship covers two eligible technical-education dual credit courses per year (grades 9-12) plus one eligible general-education course per year (grades 11-12); any additional dual credit course is billed to the student at the capped dual credit tuition rate, which Kentucky law sets at one-half (50%) of the KCTCS in-state per-credit-hour tuition, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar (the exact dollar figure for 2026-27 is not stated on this page, so it is left null rather than estimated). Textbooks, online/digital content charges and other classroom costs are never covered by the scholarship and fall to the student unless the high school or district pays them.
Who can enroll. Students enrolled in a Kentucky public or private high school or a comparable Kentucky home-school program, taking an approved dual credit course at a participating Kentucky public or independent college or university. Grades 9-12 for technical-education dual credit; grades 11-12 for general-education dual credit. Scholarships are awarded first-come, first-served by application date through KHEAA, and the student must set their scholarship preferences with KHEAA or be billed the full balance. Course-level placement/prerequisite rules are set by the awarding college.
