SCHOLARSHIP LICENSE PLATES

$30 EXTRA

In recent years, the costs to attend Texas colleges and universities have increased demonstratively.  Most educators say that's because the state stopped mandating the cost of tuition and began allowing the schools to set them.

Prior to that, at least taxpayers in Texas thought it was important to keep costs low, so that any resident with the educational prerequisites could somehow manage to finance his higher education.

Here's an example, although not in recent history.  When I transferred from Tulane University in New Orleans to University of North Texas in Denton, my annual tuition dropped from $1,600 to $144.  My room and board dropped from about $3,000 a year to $1,400 a year.

That's no longer the case because state schools, at least in Texas, are no longer inexpensive. 

Consequently Texas schools are having to become more and more dependent on the availability of private donations to scholarship funds for them to be able to attract and keep students.

One interesting but rarely used way of making a scholarship donation is to buy one of the Texas vanity vehicle license plates.  They cost an extra $30, but $22.00 of that goes toward the scholarship fund at the college whose license plate you pick.  And further, that $22.00 part of the cost is tax deductible.

You can order the special plates at anytime,  It does not have to coincide with your regular plate renewal  So if you'll click below while it's on your mind, you can help someone go to college.
