Because of procedures to assign state dual credit scholarships through KHEAA, student accounts will not reflect scholarships, and will have a tuition balance, until November for Fall semester and April for the Spring semester. However, students may pay for course materials and tuition, if not using a KHEAA Scholarship, invoiced at any time. We will email students when accounts are accurate but students are encouraged to check their EKU Direct account as well. Both KHEAA scholarships have separate applications – Dual Credit and Work Ready – through the KHEAA website.
