Currently there are\u00a080 scholarship openings each year, which are filled with returning students and new students. KYTC\u00a0awards 10-20 scholarships to new students\u00a0each year who are either attending or planning to attend the University of Kentucky (UK), Western Kentucky University (WKU), or\u00a0University of Louisville J.\u00a0B. Speed School of Engineering (UofL)\u00a0to obtain a\u00a0Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE). Students may also attend pre-engineering courses at Kentucky State\u00a0University (KSU), Kentucky Community and Technical College System, or\u00a0other Kentucky state colleges or universities, and then finish their Bachelor of Science in\u00a0Civil Engineering at UK, WKU or UofL. The Civil Engineering Scholarship can be worth\u00a0over $59,000. Some of the benefits during and after completion of the scholarship program are: four-year scholarship: $7,200\/semester for freshmen and sophomores; $7,600\/semester for juniors and seniors; and job placement after graduation in a potentially rewarding and lucrative career To qualify, Chute and Baker had to meet certain guidelines, such as being graduates of an accredited Kentucky high school, or high school graduates who are residents of Kentucky, and they must meet admission requirements of the university and its respective\u00a0engineering department. Selections were made on a statewide competitive basis according to the following criteria: scholastic standing; recommendations; input from the universities, KYTC staff and management; and a minimum composite\u00a0American College Test (ACT) score. Chute and Baker will begin their engineering journey this summer. They both will attend the University of Kentucky in the fall."}
