High school students who enroll in the program will:

Take college courses while still in high school

Courses are taught at Lawrence High and Free State High School by qualified high school teachers. Upon successfully completing the course, students earn both high school and college credit.

Earn transferable college credit

For each course a student successfully completes, they will earn credit from KU. All courses are transferable to Kansas public 2-year and 4-year institutions of higher education and may transfer to other colleges, depending on transfer requirements.

Experience college-level coursework and learning

Jayhawk Blueprint courses are taught similarly to how they are taught on campus, giving students experience with college-level courses and helping ease the future transition to college.

Access KU courses at a discounted rate

Jayhawk Blueprint courses are offered at a rate more than 60% lower than traditional KU courses, and course textbooks/materials are provided without charge. In addition, there is need-based funding available for those on free & reduced lunch through their high school.
