In its first year, the Kentucky
Dual Credit Scholarship Program saved Kentucky students and their families over $ 4.5 million.
Governor Matt Bevin launched
the Dual Credit Scholarship by Executive Order for the 2016 - 17 school year.
The second significant policy development came when Gov. Matt Bevin signed an Executive Order in June 2016 establishing
a Dual Credit Scholarship Program that allowed every Kentucky high school graduate to earn credit for two college courses, at no cost to the student.
