Lottery Scholarship to Pay Student Loans

Make Arkansas Lottery funds available for college graduates to pay back student loans.

Why is this important?

Arkansas currently has a lottery scholarship program. Applicants can receive funds to pay for college tuition in full. 40% of those who received the scholarship dropout. We should use at least 1/2 of the available funds for those who have finished college and are working in the state to help pay back student loans. If I had my loans covered I could and would spend more money in the local economy.
