[Students] College Access Loan

[Maria Ramos]

Students: Are you looking for other sources of funds to help defray the
costs of attending this academic year?

 

Everyone: Do you know of a student who is looking for other sources of
funds to help defray the costs of attending this academic year?

 

The College Access Loan (CAL) through the Texas Higher Education
Coordinating Board provides an alternative type of educational loans to
Texas students to attend college and universities in Texas. Students do
not have to demonstrate financial need to receive these loans, which may
be used to cover all or part of a student's Expected Family
Contribution. Undergraduate dependent students who are issued a Parent
PLUS Loan and the parent does not want to apply for the Parent PLUS Loan
may apply for the CAL. 

 

Who can apply?

Students must be

*         a Texas resident, 

*         be enrolled in a course of student leading to an associate's
or higher degree at least half-time basis or an approved Alternative
Educator Certification Program 

*         must meet financial aid standards of academic progress
requirements 

*         must receive a favorable credit evaluation or provide a
cosigner who has good credit standing and meets other requirements. 

Students may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other
financial aid.

application process, visit The College Access Loan (CAL

"Most business men generally are so busy coping with immediate and
piecemeal matters that there is a lamentable tendency to let the "long
run" or future take care of itself. We often are so busy "putting out
fires," so to speak, that we find it difficult to do the planning that
would prevent those fires from occurring in the first place. As a
prominent educator has expressed it, Americans generally "spend so much
time on things that are urgent that we have none left to spend on those
that are important."
