From WV Metro News:

West Virginia, Marshall universities say they’d still like Promise funds they never got”

As the article explains:

Leaders at Marshall and West Virginia universities say they still hope to be compensated by the state for Promise Scholarship money they didn’t receive last year.

Leaders of the schools said they had to use the colleges’ own reserves to make sure students received the scholarship money the state usually provides.

Here’s the Marshall University (a real “profile in courage” if there ever was one):

“We were asked not to really discuss that until after the election, which we did. We decided we would stay quiet about it,” Marshall University President Jerome Gilbert told state Senator Robert Plymale, D-Wayne, during a budget hearing today.

Just a hunch: there's probably more to this story.
