WCU students' military scholarships are in jeopardy due to state budget stalemate - Caitlyn Penter, WLOS

The Scholarship for Children of Wartime Veterans has been delayed because of the ongoing state budget debate. Tyler and Emily Cornett, brother and sister who go to Western Carolina University, are among those affected. They said they are unsure how they're going to pay for school now. "In my opinion, it's kind of a slap in the face to military members," Tyler Cornett said.
