Housing & Residence Life

A two-week camp held in June, SCATS offers high-ability students who have completed grades 6–8 a unique learning environment to explore new ideas, develop concepts, make friends, and share experiences. Students arrive at the WKU campus from counties around Kentucky, states across the nation, and countries around the world to challenge themselves academically and to meet like-minded peers with diverse backgrounds and interests.

Will you be a first-generation college student?

If your parent(s) or guardian(s) do not have a Bachelor's degree (four-year degree), then you would be a first-generation college student!

Being first-gen can seem daunting, but you are not alone!  There are about 4,480 first-generation students and a lot of helpful resources for you at WKU.  This summer, join a group of other high school students to explore some essentials of college life and build ties with WKU faculty, staff, and students.
