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.

Hi Bill!
The costs of tuition isn't limited to Texas.  My son is in his last year at Long Beach State University.  The tuition this year jumped from around $1400 per semester to $2100 per semester..quite a one-time jump! I am glad it is his last year!

California has their special license plates that I believe go towards several causes which you can choose from.

Bill,

I don't recall what my tuition was (1964-1968); however it was not expensive at all.

Those costs for tuition are jaw-dropping!  I had no idea there were scholarship funds to do the plates. I have the TAR plate, but it's nice to know there are other options if I change.

Hi Bill... This is a GREAT way to contribute to the college education of those who cannot afford the skyhigh tuitions while also showing school spirit if you are a Texas university Alum!
