Despite a $10 million balance that could theoretically fund the Educate and Grow Scholarship program at Vol State for nearly 20 more years, the County Commission is considering a proposal that would significantly reduce or possibly eliminate the program.

Despite their cautious approach regarding the use of reserve funds for this purpose, Commissioners had no trouble using the same Hospital Fund to bailout the mismanaged county insurance trust.
