Kentucky: Council on Postsecondary Education

Annual Academically Proficient African American High School Junior & Senior Conference

About the Conference

The conference is sponsored by the Council on Postsecondary Education and the Kentucky Department of Education and is held on the campus of a public, private, or independent college. The conference programs will:

  1. Inform and expose African American juniors and seniors of the various educational opportunities available at colleges throughout the Commonwealth;
  2. Provide information to assist African American juniors and seniors to make the adjustments necessary for a successful college experience;
  3. Provide information to assist African American students to become effective leaders in school and in their communities after graduation;
  4. Provide information regarding scholarships, grants, internships, and financial aid programs available through the KHEAA and institutions; and,
  5. Provide a forum for Kentucky colleges and universities to present information to many of the brightest college-bound African American students, in a single location, for purposes of acquainting the students with the academic programs and scholarship opportunities available on their campuses.

The conference was originally designed to give Kentucky's public, private, and independent colleges and universities an opportunity to recruit academically promising or proficient students in a non-competitive setting early in their junior or senior year.
