FRANKFORT, KY (Aug. 21, 2014) - Twenty-six area high school graduates have been named Senator Jeff Green Scholars by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). To earn this honor, a student must have a 4.0 grade point average each year of high school and at least a 28 composite on the ACT.

These students have also earned $2,500 a year in Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) awards. If they keep their grades up in college, they will have $10,000 to use toward a four-year degree.



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

The area scholars are:
  • Adair County High School: Natalie Bertram, Charles Castaneda, Madelyn Murrell, Emily Peck.
  • Campbellsville High School: Emily Haley, Katelyn McMahan, Mollie Williams.
  • Casey County High School: LaShay Byrd, Miranda Flannery.
  • Green County High School: Courtney Callison, Allison Ingram.
  • Metcalfe County High School: Ivy Parsons, Leah Rock, Lane Thompson, Amanda Word.
  • Russell County High School: Rachel McFall, Alex Turner.
  • Taylor County High School: Katelyn Cornette, Madeira Curry, Michael Hart, Megan Hedgespeth, Tiffany Lawson, Hayley Moss, Elijah Myers, Alexa Parker, Fredrick Tinnell.
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 an out-of-state school if the major the student is pursuing is not available in Kentucky. No application is necessary for KEES awards.
