WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
join the College for Texans Campaign in recognizing February 2007 |
|
|
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 a college education more |
|
|
attainable for students; each year, more than $4 billion in |
|
|
financial aid is offered to help students in Texas pay costs for |
|
|
college tuition, fees, books, supplies, and other expenses; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Students have access to various forms of financial |
|
|
aid, such as grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, |
|
|
loans, waivers, exemptions, and tax credits, to help them in their |
|
|
pursuit of higher education; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During Financial Aid Awareness Month, scheduled |
|
|
events will be held across the state to provide information to |
|
|
families about the many resources and types of financial aid that |
|
|
are available; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 2007 as Financial Aid |
|
|
Awareness Month and commend all those associated with the College |
|
|
for Texans Campaign for their worthy efforts to increase financial |
|
|
aid awareness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the College for Texans Campaign as an expression of |
|
|
esteem by the Texas House of Representatives. |
