Year after year, students at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College have been faced with a rising cost to their education, she said. Tuition, coupled with gas and foods costs, not to mention childcare, have placed a hardship on many students. It is no secret that in this critical time when unemployment rates are climbing to an all-time high that a college or technical degree is a requirement for landing a good paying job.
"We at Southeast are working hard to aid students and to make a difference in their lives. With that in mind, come out and spend the day with us, support a great cause and play a little golf at the beautiful Sleepy Hollow Golf Course.
