LEXINGTON-HERALD-LEADER, LEXINGTON, KY.,MONDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1989 Wells promotes college endowment fund LOUISVILLE - State Finance Secretary L. Rogers Wells Jr. is trying to sell Kenhick-y corporations on the idea of providing dollars. for scholars. Any money the companies contribute goes into. a special endowment reserved for parents interested in providing a college education for their children. · Wells said the state hopes the endowment will reach $5 million within three years. The Kentucky Education Enhancement Program is a tax-free savings plan designed to help families plan for and afford higher education for their children. ' Wells estimates that by the year 2000, the cost of a 'four-year - bachelor's degree at a public regional university in Kentucky will be about $50,000 for youngsters now in second grade. The finance secretary told a group of business e.xecutives last week that in addition to tax benefits, "your participation will mean •you'll have u better-educated, better-trained, better-prepared work force; productivity will increase, and so will profits. And the bottom , line for all of this is a better quality of life.'' ;._._._,:... ·-~-- ,. ~ - ~ -· - ~-~·- JL a .1u.. "l...11-.1u1. 5 .11.
