By Tim Ballard

FRANKFORT, Ky. (Sept. 24, 2013) -- Thirty-three area students have been named Senator Jeff Green Scholars by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) for outstanding academic performance in high school.

Local students who earned this prestigious designation are:
  • Adair County High School: Cody Giles, Heather Jackson, Noah Richard.
  • Campbellsville High School: Cassidy Blair
  • Casey County High School: Sarah Coffman, Ryan Hines, Damien Lawhorn, Taylor Leigh, Allison Thompson, Kaitlyn Todd, Allison Ware
  • Cumberland County High School: Caleb Burns, Chelsea King
  • Green County High School: Morgan Durrett, Molly Frank
  • Metcalfe County High School: Philip Keltner, Tayler McMurtrey, Holly Spradlin

  • Taylor County High School: Kaitlyn Benningfield, Macayla Bertram, Andrew Finck, Lauren Johnson, David Lawson, Anna Scott, Justin Smith, Shelby Tungate, Alyssa Young
Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average each year of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.



The students named have also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. Their awards may be renewed each year of college if they continue to earn high grades, making the total value of their KEES worth $10,000.

The title honors the late state Sen. Jeff Green of Mayfield, who served in the Kentucky General Assembly from 1992 to 1997.

KEES and other Kentucky student aid programs are administered by KHEAA. KEES awards are funded by net Kentucky lottery proceeds and may be used at most colleges and universities in Kentucky. In some cases, the award may be used at out-of-state schools if the major the student is pursuing is not available in Kentucky. No application is necessary for KEES awards, and students may access their KEES account information on www.kheaa.com by setting up a MyKHEAA account.
