Kentucky Fairness Alliance (KFA) Foundation believes that education is the key to strong social progress. Discrimination has no place in the community of higher education. With that being said, an ever-increasing component of the collegiate experience is students’ exposure to diversity.
Three scholarships valued at $1500 each will be awarded this fall at the annual statewide fairness gala, Out & About. They will be awarded to Kentucky students based on social and financial need, scholastic aptitude and leadership potential as well as community involvement.
