Governor Appoints Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones partner Larry Jones to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority Board of Directors and the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation Board of Directors

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced today that he has appointed Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones PLC partner Larry Jones to the Board of Directors for the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority and the Kentucky Higher Education Student Loan Corporation.

Last year, KHEAA disbursed more than $194 million to 120,830 Kentucky students to help them pay their college costs. To fill the gap between family resources and other student aid, The Student Loan People disbursed $572 million in FFELP loans,
while KHEAA guaranteed $1.3 billion.

Of his appointment, Larry says, "I am honored that the Governor has such confidence in me that he selected me to serve this very important agency. As one who borrowed his way through college (paying off over $100,000 in student loans), I understand the importance of providing the opportunity to obtain a higher education to those who could not otherwise afford one."
