SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 135
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
join the College for Texans Campaign in recognizing February of |
|
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 Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby recognize February of 2007 as Financial |
|
Aid Awareness Month and commend those associated with the College |
|
for Texans Campaign for their worthy efforts to increase |
|
financial aid awareness; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as an |
|
expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
