A Smart Way to Pay for College

Some families may think college is unattainable because of the costs involved. But with the Texas Tuition Promise Fund, families from all economic backgrounds can choose from a variety of options to save for their children’s college education.

Time is running out to take advantage of the Texas Tuition Promise Fund this year. The current enrollment period ends February 28, 2009. (For children under one, enrollment ends July 31, 2009.)

To help spread the word, please forward this e-mail to your counselors and any parent e-mail lists maintained by your schools.

You can purchase just a few hours or a semester at a community college or as much as six years of resident tuition and required fees at the most expensive public university in Texas.
