KCTCS, Morehead State presidents renew tuition discount agreement for employees

Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) President Ryan Quarles and Morehead State University President Jay Morgan renewed a 50% tuition discount agreement last week in support of professional development for their full-time employees.

Beginning with the fall semester, any full-time KCTCS employee attending MSU and any full-time MSU employee attending a KCTCS college will receive a 50% tuition discount in any undergraduate or graduate program. The discount does not apply to 800-level courses in doctoral programs.

“We value our employees, and we’re always looking for partnerships that offer them opportunities for growth,” said Quarles. “This 50% tuition discount is a great benefit for our more than 4,000 teammates. I’m thankful to be partnering with Dr. Jay Morgan and Morehead State University to renew this agreement.”

Employees are responsible for the full cost of any applicable fees, which could include mandatory fees, program fees or course and lab fees.

“Morehead State is proud to continue offering this tuition incentive to KCTCS employees. We have a great partnership with KCTCS and appreciate the service they provide to our region and beyond,” said Morgan.  

Each semester, courses may be monitored to ensure there are sufficient funds to cover the cost of instruction. There is no cap on the number of credits an employee can take in any given year.

The agreement can be modified or discontinued at any time before Aug. 1, 2027, by agreement of both parties.
