LCCC professor says scholarship taking away students

A Laramie County Community College instructor says the states new Hathaway Scholarship program could be responsible for a drop in students enrolling in engineering and physics classes there.

Kevin Kilty, who teaches math, physics and engineering at the college, said enrollment in his courses has dropped as more freshmen have signed up for programs at the University of Wyoming.

While Kilty praised the scholarship program, he doesnt believe students understand they would get the same amount of scholarship money if they attended LCCC or another state community colleges.
