Tuition and Scholarships

KHEAA provides a scholarship for public, private, and home schooled students. Students will be eligible to receive scholarships for two general education dual-credit courses each year during the 11th and 12th grade years.

Award determination will be made by KHEAA and students will be notified by KHEAA. For more information, please contact KHEAA.

Students should work with their school counselor to make their scholarship selections on their KHEAA account. Students who have made selections and anticipate receiving a scholarship through the KHEAA Dual Credit/Work Ready program may see a balance on their account for covered classes. KHEAA does not begin to disburse scholarships for fall term until after October 1 and for spring term until after February 15. If students pay their tuition out-of-pocket and are awarded a scholarship afterward, NKU will refund those payments. Students who are taking classes that are not covered by KHEAA scholarships should make their payment by the first day of classes.

Please email nkusbs@nku.edu if you have any questions.

Students have the opportunity to utilize KHEAA's Work Ready Scholarship towards some of their dual-credit coursework; however, approved dual-credit courses for the Work Ready Scholarship are limited to Career and Technical Education (CTE) coursework that is in a career pathway approved by the Kentucky Department of Education as leading to an industry‐recognized credential.
