History
The Kentucky Governor's Scholar Program was founded in 1983 as an attempt by Kentucky legislature to keep the state's "best and brightest" interested in furthering education and potentially starting a career in the commonwealth instead of traveling out of the state to do so. The first class of Governor's Scholars numbered 230 and was housed on one campus while today over 1,000 scholars attend each summer at 3 different universities. Campuses are selected for residency based on bids placed every 4 years. Among the schools to host, some in past years and the present include, Northern Kentucky University, Eastern Kentucky University, Centre College, Western Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Bellarmine University, Murray State University, and the University of Kentucky.
