One of the nation's elite undergraduate scholarship
and enrichment programs

In partnership with the James Graham Brown Foundation, Centre
has recently launched the Brown Fellows Program. The initiative is
the premier scholarship and enrichment program in Kentucky and is
among the top such programs in the nation.

Centre is the only private college in Kentucky selected for a
Brown Fellows Program. The foundation has also initiated a
Brown Fellows Program at the University of Louisville.

The program was established as an individualized course of
development in which outstanding students build leadership
skills through independent study, community service, and
experiential learning.
