So much good in this article. Tri-County Tech used a $1M grant tofu d scholarships for those out of work to get a new viable trade. The school used to think students had to “have skin in the game” to fund their own education. No more. 1/2 tulsaworld.com/news/local/edu…
The students had trouble saving even $100 when unemployed or working minimum wage jobs. With full scholarships, students could complete accelerated classes and get new jobs in healthcare, bookkeeping, IT network maintenance, doubling their wages. Higher incomes, more buying power
Their greater financial success and help their families be healthier and children perform better in school. The increased economic activity they produce helps businesses in the small towns where many live. This program is far better for Oklahoma than tax cuts. Wake up #okleg!
