Tuition Payment

Tuition is paid directly to the university ONLY for approved courses that are specified in the applicant approval letter, provided a grade of "B" or better is earned for each approved course. Participants who receive a grade below a "B," or who fail to submit grades, are no longer eligible applicants.

Applicants taking classes at Kentucky colleges and universities will receive up to $300. per credit hour. This system will allow the Traineeship Program to fund more applicants resulting in the need for fewer rejections.

Other costs or expenses (insurance, transportation, athletic fees, late registration fees, room and board, etc.) are the responsibility of the approved applicant. Extended campus course fees and student teaching fees may be paid.

If you have any questions, please contact the Traineeship Program staff at (859) 442-3506. An answering machine is available for your convenience. All applications, bills, invoices, and correspondence related to the DECS Regular Traineeship Program must be submitted to:
