Plain-language summary
This bill creates a proactive college admissions program in Kentucky where high school juniors would automatically receive personalized letters telling them which public colleges and universities they already qualify for, along with information about any scholarship money they may have earned. Public colleges would be required to set clear minimum admission standards and participate in a shared online application by 2027. The letters would not guarantee admission, and schools would still review all applications individually. Who it may affect: high school students and their families, public and certified nonpublic schools, and Kentucky public colleges and universities.
