"State lawmakers are wondering how to stretch the life of the Millennium Scholarship, which is credited with boosting the number of Nevada college students but is running dry," reports The Las Vegas Sun. "Designed to help Nevada retain and support the best and brightest youth, and increase the number of Nevadans going to college, the Millennium Scholarships originally offered full tuition for high school graduates with a grade average of B or better. Since it was created in 2000, it has assisted more than 40,000 students with $125.9 million in aid. It has been funded with a share of Nevada's tobacco industry settlement funds. But the pool is shrinking."
