Program Helps Kentucky Adults Return to College

By Associated Press

Frankfort, KY – Former college students with at least 90 credit hours are eligible for a Kentucky program that helps adults get their education back on track. The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education says in its first three years, Project Graduate has helped 492 former students complete their bachelor's degrees. The program is a collaborative effort between the council and the state's public universities. Each campus program has an advocate who specializes in working with adult students and their unique needs. Special incentives that are offered include free applications, priority enrollment, after-hours intake, and academic and career advising, although incentives vary by university.
