The Gatton Academy challenges our students to look beyond traditional scholarships to fund college. Gatton Academy students are invited to prepare applications for many prestigious national and international scholarships.
Winners of these awards receive financial benefits and recognition as a leading, emerging scholar. Because Gatton Academy students are both juniors/seniors in high school and freshmen/sophomores at Western Kentucky University, a trove of opportunities available. Working in partnership with WKU's Office of Scholar Development, The Gatton Academy provides support to our students throughout the application process.
