An article titled "MSU Loses Governor's Scholars" in Morehead State University's Trail Blazer announces MSU's recent loss in bidding to host the Arkansas Governor's School and highlights the value of hosting the program in terms of AGS alumni enrollment in the host institution.

“We are disappointed to not be hosting GSP for the next cycle. MSU’s best marketing strategy is to get students on campus," Jeffery Liles, assistant vice president of enrollment services, said. "We promote open houses and campus tours heavily, but the Governor’s Scholars Program was the best way for students to really get on campus and experience what we have to offer.”

Before MSU was a host campus for GSP less than 20 alumni were enrolled. In the four years that Morehead was a host campus that number rose to over 100 GSP alumni Liles said.
