I just checked into this thread again. I think UK is misleading with the Presidential and any full-ride scholarships for OOS. My son far exceeded the thresholds required and in fact was offered similar scholarships at much more highly regarded state flagships. He will attend another state flagship on a generous scholarship that brought his COA in-line with our state flagship.

If he would have received the Presidential, he would have attended UK, so we were quite surprised when he didn’t get it. I called their scholarship office and they told me there were only 25 or so awarded. Of course, many are active here as they usually are.

I’m leaving this for future people who read this. Don’t expect it because of your grades. I hope you are awarded the scholarship, but it definitely looks like they give less than it seems.
