I know this thread is relatively old but I figured I’d comment to answer some questions that I’ve seen because I had a lot of questions that were hard to answer when I was trying to figure out whether or not I’d come to UK.

Current student here who received presidential. First, this year’s honors acceptances were significantly higher than years past. Second, state funding is constantly getting cut so scholarships are getting harder for the University to fund. Additionally, I interviewed for the Singletary scholarship (didn’t receive) and I can confidently say that I know many OOS students who have both the presidential and the singletary. I would say that if you didn’t recieve the scholarships, then it was likely due to your honors essays or your interview.

Lastly, UK is required to give presidential scholarships to students who go through the “Governor’s Scholars Program” within Kentucky. As such, scholarship numbers do likely vary year to year depending on how many GSP students actually attend UK.
