FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky education officials say high schools students, parents and school employees are among those invited to join a Facebook Live event this week to learn about the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship.
The state Department of Education says the event will be at 1 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
Department officials say a panel will discuss the scholarship, including eligibility, how to apply and what it covers.

Those sectors are advanced manufacturing, business and IT, construction trades, health care and transportation and logistics.
