Congratulations to sophomore, Kaitlyn Sammons, for being accepted into the Rogers Scholar Program!

"The Rogers Scholars program was developed and initiated by The Center for Rural Development in 1998 to address, and reverse, the high level of out migration suffered by our rural service area. The program, whose namesake is Congressman Hal Rogers, is designed to help The Center move toward its vision that no young person should have to leave their home region to find their future – they can find it right here in Southern and Eastern Kentucky.

Students apply during their sophomore year in high school, and those selected through a competitive process attend the program during the summer before their junior year. The program is held in Somerset and the surrounding area, with most events taking place at The Center. Students are housed at a local hotel, and all lodging, meals, and program expenses (with the exception of transportation to and from the program) are free to the student."

Congratulations to Mercedes Maness, Alex Emmons, Austin Robinson, and Savannah Day for being accepted into the 2013 Governor's Scholar Program!  These students will spend five weeks on a college campus this summer.

"The Governor’s Scholars Program is a summer residential program for outstanding high school students in Kentucky who are rising seniors. The Program originated in 1983 as a result of Kentucky leaders’ concern that the state’s “best and brightest” were leaving the Commonwealth to pursue educational and career opportunities elsewhere without fully understanding the potential of their talents at home. Students who are selected attend the Program without charge. In the spirit of partnership, the Office of the Governor, the Kentucky State Legislature, and private enterprise come together to provide the financial support for the Program.

The Program’s mission is to enhance Kentucky’s next generation of civic and economic leaders. The first class numbered 230 and was housed on one college campus. Since then, the Program has enjoyed excellent support and grown to over 1,000 students on three campuses."  (03 May 2013.  http://gsp.ky.gov/About-Us.aspx)
