68 students denied National Guard tuition assistance

By Simon Isham–

Sixty-eight U of L students who are in the Kentucky Army National Guard will be losing their scholarships next semester. The students, who each received $5,000 per semester from the Kentucky National Guard, were notified yesterday by the U of L Office of Admissions. Spring semester tuition is due this week for undergraduate students.

Fred Cowgill, the parent of Christian Cowgill, a Kentucky National Guard recruit and a sophomore at U of L, said that his son would not have joined the Guard if he had known that the tuition assistance program could be revoked at any time.
