About Us
KHEAA is the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority, a state agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to higher education. KHEAA provides state aid such as the Kentucky Education Excellence Scholarship (KEES) program, the College Access Program (CAP) Grant, the Kentucky Tuition Grant (KTG) and other scholarship and grant programs.
KHEAA is part of two agencies with one mission: help our education partners, students and families achieve their goals. KHEAA and the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation (KHESLC), which was established in 1978, have more than 55 years’ experience making these goals a reality. In that time, we’ve remained committed to our mission, our customer service and our professional and ethical conduct.
We pride ourselves on our respect and advocacy for our stakeholders and employees. Our agencies are also committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
