Sen. Dorsey Ridley (D-Henderson) announced Wednesday that higher education in western Kentucky reaped the rewards of the Kentucky Lottery proceeds during the 2011 fiscal year.
During the past fiscal year, 2,372 grants and scholarships worth $3.65 million were awarded to students in the Fourth Senatorial District, which Ridley represents. The Fourth District includes Crittenden, Caldwell, Henderson, Livingston, Union and Webster counties.
