*Kentucky Wesleyan College grants and scholarships are awarded only in amounts equal to the direct educational assistance needed for the academic year at hand. Direct educational expenses at KWC are defined as: tuition and fees in addition to room and board for residential students. All institutional grants and scholarships will be adjusted to prevent over-awarding. Outside scholarships sent directly to the college may also decrease KWC grants and scholarships.
