The lowest average net price among them is $8,040 a year at Kentucky State University. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.

Is a 15 a good ACT score for Kentucky colleges?

A 15 places a student inside the admitted range at 3 four-year colleges in Kentucky. Whether it is a good score depends on the target school: a score above a school's 75th percentile is typically where merit scholarship consideration begins, and crossing that threshold can reduce what a family pays by thousands of dollars a year.
