Resilient Refugee Program Western Kentucky University (WKU), Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (KYCPE)

Located in a refugee resettlement city, WKU is uniquely poised to enroll large numbers of displaced students eligible for the Kentucky Innovative Scholarship Pilot Program into undergraduate programs. In order to provide outstanding preparation and ongoing service to this population, the WKU is launching the Resilient Refugee Program. This initiative innovatively combines three already successful WKU programs (Summer Scholars, International Pathway to Academic Success (IPAS), and Global Learning Ambassadors) to provide displaced students with access to personalized support navigating the complexities of life at an American university.
