Kentucky Christian University is located in one of the most economically challenged areas of the country,” says KCU President Dr. Jeff Metcalf. “Many of our local high school students feel they could not even afford to consider us as an option for college.”

In response, KCU recently created its Lead & Enhance Appalachia Program, or LEAP, and a new full-tuition scholarship program for eligible incoming freshmen. To qualify, high school seniors must demonstrate financial need, academic competence, and must be residents of Kentucky.

“LEAP is designed to meet the needs of the neediest, the academically capable and financially incapable students,” Metcalf says. As of our press date, almost 25 students had applied for the scholarship funds for the 2014-15 school year.
