LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 12, 2021) For many high school students, college is only a dream. The combined cost of tuition, living expenses, books, student fees, etc. threatens to exclude more and more intelligent and hard-working students from receiving an engineering education.
In 1999, L. Stanley Pigman, who earned a bachelor’s degree in mining engineering from the University of Kentucky in 1981, determined he would close this gap and began funding scholarships for students whose financial situations would prevent them from attending UK. Since that time, he and his wife, Karen, have financially supported and mentored 120 students through L. Stanley Pigman Scholarships.
