R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, February 2005 has been declared Financial Aid Awareness Month, and an array of events has been scheduled throughout the Lone Star State to not only illustrate the importance of obtaining a college education, but also to emphasize the myriad opportunities existing for students to attend college, despite economic challenges; and WHEREAS, Whether it be in the form of grants, scholarships, work-study programs, loans, waivers, exemptions, or tax credits, more than $3 billion in financial aid is available to Texas students annually; and WHEREAS, With college graduates earning perhaps $1 million more in their lifetimes than persons possessing high school degrees alone, a college education has become more important than ever; and WHEREAS, By offering students and their families invaluable information about attaining financial aid, all those associated with Financial Aid Awareness Month are helping countless young Texans achieve brighter and more rewarding futures; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas Legislature hereby recognize February 2005 as Financial Aid Awareness Month and commend all those involved with this event for their exemplary efforts in behalf of Texas youth.
