Community Scholarship Program Presentation
"West Kentucky Community & Technical College President Dr. Anton Reece and
Vice President of Institutional Advancement Lee Emmons provided an update on the
Community Scholarship Program and thanked the City for its funding support since
fiscal year 2011. Annually, the City provides $125,000 toward the program which
was launched to increase the number of high school graduates, increase the number
of citizens with post -secondary education, and improve the quality and skill level of
our regional workforce. Emmons said, "Education is an investment in the future of
our community." So far, more than 1800 students have benefited from the program.
The Program motivates students to graduate high school and pursue a higher
education by providing each Paducah and McCracken County high school graduate
with a two-year tuition scholarship to West Kentucky Community & Technical
College provided that each student register for the program, maintain a minimum
grade point average and attendance record, and not have major disciplinary
problems. The program also receives funds from McCracken County, the Rotary
Club of Paducah, Paducah Junior College, Inc., Paducah Power System, and
numerous private sources."
