Over the past five years, Daviess County students have been awarded over 5 million dollars in scholarships. Each month new scholarship opportunities become available. There is also information on college visits in the area posted on Daviess County's website. However, after scholarship information and college visit dates have been released it is your responsibility to apply for those scholarships which apply to you, as well as keep up with the college visits dates. The best source for scholarship money is available from the college where you have been or are going to be accepted, but until then additional information and applications are available in the Guidance Office. Good luck Seniors!

Kentucky Governor's Scholars Program

The Governor's Scholars Program strives to enhance Kentucky's next generation of civic and economic leaders and to create models of educational excellence for teachers and students.

Established in 1983, the program provides academic and personal growth through the balance of a strong liberal arts program with a full co-curricular and residential life experience. Students must complete an application and compete with others from across the state. Those selected attend the program free of charge.

Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA)

From cities and suburbs from farms and coal fields, from every corner of the Commonwealth, Kentucky’s most talented, creative high school students gather for three weeks each summer to learn and grow together at the Governor’s School for the Arts (GSA). Rising juniors and seniors in high school are offered in-depth instruction in one of nine artistic disciplines: architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, instrumental music, musical theatre, new media, visual art or vocal music. Over 1,600 students audition for the program each year at four sites across Kentucky. 225 students are selected for GSA, an honor which includes: full tuition, room and board to attend the school; the opportunity to learn in a supportive community of distinguished master-teachers; the chance to audition for scholarships before the nation’s top colleges and universities; the excitement of performing at the Student Performance Festival at the conclusion of the program; and serious fun!

During their three week stay on the beautiful campus of Transylvania University in Lexington, the student artists are immersed in a rigorous schedule of daily seminars, master-classes, lectures, hands-on workshops and field trips. While each student specializes in one art form, all students participate in structured, interdisciplinary arts experiences designed to familiarize them with the joys and challenges of disciplines other than their own.

Many GSA students come from areas of Kentucky where specialized arts instruction is limited or simply not available. Regardless of the level of their prior training, whether they hail from rural or urban areas, these teens are often artistically isolated. Through the generosity of our donors, this program provides critical support for an exceptionally talented group of young people while fostering discipline and achievement. GSA is an honor and an incentive for further accomplishments. The long-term economic and social vitality of the Commonwealth can only enhanced if we nurture and develop the widest range of talents of our citizens, both academic and artistic.

The students selected for GSA are expected to follow a high standard of personal conduct. Mutual respect, excellent work habits and a cooperative spirit are all necessary aspects of community life throughout the program. By living and learning in a “community of artists”, students are led to understand how they may be of service to the cause of the arts in general, and to their communities and schools in particular. Many opportunities exist for students to develop interpersonal skills which will enhance their transition to college life and also serve them well in many other settings throughout their lives.

GSA plays a vital role in preparing its students for their pursuit of careers not only in the arts, but in all facets of professional life requiring leadership, critical thinking, exceptional communication and expressive skills, and understanding of our multi-cultural world. Upon returning to their homes and schools, GSA students are more mature, focused and motivated. They are well on their way to becoming aware, involved citizens, real assets to their communities and the Commonwealth.
