Applying for the KAGE Foundation Financial Assistance

Only students who are Kentucky residents and who have been accepted at a summer program for gifted students offered by a Kentucky public university will be considered by the KAGE Foundation financial assistance committee. Home-schooled students should contact the KAGE office for more information about applying to the KAGE Foundation.

As a rule, only partial financial assistance is awarded. This policy allows the students family and/or community to show commitment, and it allows limited funds to serve as many students as possible.  Award notifications are typically made in May.

The application for financial assistance is online. There are two parts – the Parent/Guardian/Student form and the Educator Form. The deadline to submit the application is April 30, 2023.

• Parent/Guardian/Student form: https://giftedwku.wufoo.com/forms/qkwx0t917tk3x8/
• Educator Form: https://giftedwku.wufoo.com/forms/q10wl1xg0rfdl5w/
  

Other Possible Financial Assistance Resources

Parent support groups at school or other civic groups (e.g., Rotary, Optimists) may be able to help. In addition, some universities offer financial assistance to those attending their programs. Your school’s guidance counselor may be able to offer suggestions.

We strongly urge you to contact the KAGE office to make sure that ALL components of your application have been received, especially the Educator Form. The deadline for everything to be submitted is April 30, 2023.
