However. the Kentucky Higher
Iiducation Assi. tance Authority is
looking at wherd a budget cut would
come from. said Lori Powers. the or-
gani/ation's communications coordi-
iiator.

Beshear's address is the first step in
the long legislative process. Powers
said. and nothing has been determined.
If funds are low, Powers said one pos-
sibility is a cut in how much both cur-
rent and incoming Kentucky college
students receiye front KEES.

leyels or vary depending on how many

Students could see drop in KEES scholarshi

years of college the student has com—
pleted. she said.

About half of UK's undergraduates.
9.188 students. receive KEES money.
said UK spokesman lay Blanton. The
average award at UK is S I .794 per aca—
demic year. he said. Students can earn a
maximum of $2,500 per year.

KEES awards money to iii-state
college students based on their grade-
point-average for each year of high
school and their ACT exam score. Stu-
dents must have a minimum GPA of
2.5 and an ACT score of I5 to qualify
for the scholarship, according to the
KHEAA Web site.

There has not been a cut in KEES
funding since the program began in
I998. Powers said.

“All state agencies are being asked
to tighten their belts." she said. "It's a
difficult time right now. so we're all
concerned."

Officials from the KHEAA met
with members of the state budget office
yesterday to discuss Beshear‘s budget
recommendation.

"They expressed concem and want-
ed to better understand the budget
cuts." said Mary Lassiter. state budget
director.

In his budget address Tuesday.

Beshear said l.assitcr called the current
revenue shortfalls "unprecedented."
Yesterday. Lassiter confirmed she has
not seeti a shortfall like this biennium‘s
in the last seven state budgets.

“The goyernor expressed regret
at the level of reduction (for higher
education funding) and hopes that it
will be addressed if there are any
further funds available." Lassiter
said.

What funds will be ayailable to
public universities. and what KEES
money will be available to students.
will not be known until April, when the
legislature approves a budget.
