Fanancial aid

Paula Caceres
What I learned about financial aid is that its funds provided to students and families to help pay. I learned that scholarships money don’t have to be paid back. Sometimes students and their parents borrow to help pay college expenses. The repayment usually begins after education is finished.

What I learned from different colleges

Paula Caceres

What I learned from researching different colleges is that, you have a lot of requirements, like ACT scores, SAT scores, a high GPA. Living on campus is expensive. I learned that a public four year college charge on average of $7,605 per year in tuition and fees. The cost of a year‘s tuition, plus room and a private college will go from $29,026 per year to $49, 581.

College

Paula Caceres

There are many colleges that I have researched. The one that I chose to go to is Texas Women University. I have family who are currently attending there. But the main reason I picked that college was because it has a great nursing program. There are many requirements that this college needs.
The requirements are Graduation from a regionally accredited high school in Texas during the past two years and class ranking which the applicant in the top 25 percent of the applicant’s high school graduating class. ACT and SAT test scores are recommended to ensure proper advising and course placement. Freshmen applying for scholarships are required to submit an ACT or SAT test score. Freshman applicants who do not meet the requirements for Assured Admission are considered for Regular Admission if they meet they meet the requirements. It involves at least a 2.0 high school point average on a 4.0 scale. Have a class ranking in the top 50 percent of their high school graduating class. Scored at least a 1,000 (critical reading and math combined) on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) OR scored 21 or above composite on the American College Testing Program (ACT) and completed at least 14 academic credits of the Recommended Texas High School Curriculum.
Texas Women University is located in three places. Those places are Dallas, Houston, and Denton. It is the largest university for women. TWU serves the citizens of Texas in many important ways, this includes more graduating more new healthcare professionals than any other university in Texas, easing the teacher shortage by placing highly qualified professionals in the classroom, offering a liberal arts-based curriculum that prepares students for success in a global society. Texas Women University is dedicated to excellence through high quality academic programs, research, and creativity.
My major is nursing. The way I will use this in life is by helping people. It’s something that has always been interesting to me. So I am looking forward to accomplish this.
