GAME-CHANGING PERKS
EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY
Eastern Kentucky University has picked your county to take part in a game-changing program, called PELL Plus. It’s all about giving students the financial support they need to attend EKU. Here’s the best part: If you qualify and you’re not from Kentucky, you can attend EKU and pay the in-state tuition rate. Plus, you can also get in on EKU’s merit scholarships.
HOW TO QUALIFY • GRADUATE from a high school within a PELL Plus eligible county. • BE ELIGIBLE for federal Pell grant assistance as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal Pell Grants help students with exceptional financial need earn a degree. It typically does not have to be repaid.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU In addition to your Federal Pell Grant, EKU’s PELL Plus program helps make your college dream even more affordable.
