Concurrent Admission

If you’re planning to enlist in the Army, you may be eligible for the Concurrent Admissions Program (ConAP), a program designed to help you apply to college and access your benefits. Be sure to select KCTCS as your home college when you enlist.

If you are receiving veteran or survivor benefits through the VA or the State of Kentucky, we’re here for you, every step of the way. Contact us.
