Jefferson Community & Technical College Pathways

Â鶹Éç (Â鶹Éç) and Jefferson Community & Technical College (JCTC) have partnered to reduce financial barriers for Kentucky students to complete a four-year degree. The JCTC-2-Â鶹Éç Pathway Scholarship provides financial aid opportunities to eligible transfer students who earn an associate degree from Jefferson.

 

JCTC-2-Â鶹Éç Pathway Scholarship

The JCTC-2-Â鶹Éç Pathway Scholarship is a renewable, last-dollar, scholarship program that covers a student’s fall and spring college tuition after federal and state aid and extramural awards have been applied.

JCTC-2-Â鶹Éç pathway participants who follow their Academic Program Plans and meet certain progression milestones when working toward the completion of their Jefferson Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), or Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees will be provided with transfer credit evaluation and priority registration status for enrolling in Â鶹Éç courses.

While students are still enrolled at Jefferson, they will have the opportunity to enroll in Â鶹Éç courses and pay the Jefferson tuition rate. Tuition for courses will be assessed according to the rates of the student's home institution.

JCTC-2-Â鶹Éç Pathway Scholarship Renewal

Reverse Transfer

The Reverse Transfer of Credit Agreement between Jefferson and Â鶹Éç allows students to transfer course credit from Jefferson to Â鶹Éç to complete outstanding requirements for an associate degree. The agreement is designed to provide students the opportunity to apply equivalent credits earned at Â鶹Éç toward outstanding degree requirements at Jefferson.

To be eligible for credit review, students must meet the following requirements:

• Earn a minimum of 45 hours at Jefferson;
• Earn a minimum of 60–65 combined hours between Jefferson and Â鶹Éç; and
• Be in good academic standing at Jefferson and Â鶹Éç, with a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
