Alumni and friends in our the University of Kentucky community give toward scholarships for many unique and personal reasons. For some, it’s a way to pay it forward for financial support they received while attending college. For others, it’s how they say “thank you” for a life-changing experience they had at the University of Kentucky. Still others use named scholarships to honor someone who had a major influence on their life.
