Governor's scholar students from around Pike County gather today at the Pikeville campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College for a presentation from AEP. American Electric Power has been a key supporter in the public-private partnership that provides for the governor's scholar program and ensures that the very brightest of Eastern Kentucky get to take up that challenge without incurring any costs. From the very beginning the program was it was decided that the program would be cost-free to the students that they would never have to pay for that so we could get the very best and AEP for every one of those years, however many 34, 35 years has been a contributor. They were making a nice contribution today and I wanted an opportunity to be able to, we wanted an opportunity to thank them here. Kentucky Power President Matthew Satterwhite said that part of Kentucky Power's mission is to support education and ensure that students return to the area and help build a diverse and vibrant economy in Eastern Kentucky. Whenever I go around anywhere in our territory it's parents saying our kids are going off to school and not coming back because there's no jobs here and really all the problems we're having around just with the overall economy is creating jobs here and Kentucky Power is a corporate partner and a neighbor in all of these communities and we want to make sure we're out there helping with economic development. We want to diversify manufacturing, bring in all kinds of jobs, small business and big manufacturing so that kids can come back and do a variety of things. The 1,000 seniors that are selected yearly to the governor's scholar program are eligible to receive scholarships to any in-state public university upon completing the program.
