LTA Rally

Eighteen York Technical College students boarded a bus early on the cold morning of Tuesday, January 27 to attend an LTA (Lottery Tuition Assistance) rally at the State Capital in Columbia. These students were among 300 other technical college students who stood on the steps of the Capital to show their appreciation and support for the LTA program. The students wore t-shirts that stated “1 in 3 Technical College Students Receive Lottery Tuition Assistance,” to emphasize the fact that Lottery Tuition Assistance has become an increasingly important source of financial assistance for nearly 40,000 SC technical college students. Two York Tech students who participated in the LTA event are highlighted in the following news release: http://www.yorktech.com/collegenews/02032009.htm.

I appreciate Kelli Dawkins and her staff for all their hard work in making the day such a great success!
