SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 78

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased
to join The College for Texans Campaign in recognizing
February of 2005 as Financial Aid Awareness Month; and

	WHEREAS, An investment in college pays tremendous benefits 
for students; over a lifetime of working, a college graduate can 
expect to earn at least $1 million more than a high school 
graduate; and

	WHEREAS, Financial aid makes college more affordable for
students; more than $3 billion in financial aid is available each
year to help students in Texas pay for the costs of college--tuition,
fees, books, supplies, and other expenses; and

	WHEREAS, To assist students in their pursuit of higher 
education, financial aid is available in many forms such as 
grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, loans, waivers, 
exemptions, and tax credits; and

	WHEREAS, Through scheduled events across the state during 
Financial Aid Awareness Month, families in Texas will become 
better informed about the many financial resources and types of 
aid available; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby commend all those associated with
The College for Texans Campaign for their worthy efforts and 
recognize February, 2005, as Financial Aid Awareness Month;
and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
members of The College for Texans Campaign as an expression of 
esteem from the Texas Senate.
                                                                         Shapiro




________________________________ 
    President of the Senate
 
    I hereby certify that the 
above Resolution was adopted by 
the Senate on February 2, 2005.
