"I spent most of my life in Kentucky, and as my daughters were reaching high school, I was transferred to Ohio. As an out of state resident, the cost of tuition to send them to UK went up dramatically. Then, President Todd came up with the Legacy Tuition Program which is wonderful for non-resident alumni and with great timing for us" - Craig Wallace ('79)

"My wife and I were proud to graduate from UK. We live in California, but we try to attend a UK basketball game once a year. The "Go Blue" spirit at the games demonstrates the support of the school. When the final choice came to Arizona State and UK, the spirit of UK won. It is a benefit to have the Legacy Tuition that will hopefully help our other two sons follow in their brother's, dad's, mom's, uncle's, aunt's and grandfather's footsteps." - Wes Iseley ('81).
