Cougar Promise

This is huge for low income families. I grew up in a household that was below $50,000 combined income. I received financial aid and also used loans to cover the costs.

This new deal they are implementing will make it FREE for students who qualify. Such a blessing!!

Gene, I remember riding out to Old Montgomery Rd just off N. Shepherd in NW Houston and my dad was paying $0.125 for gas. I was not privy to any of the family finances, but I do remember a high school mate purchasing a VW for about $1200 and another picking up a new Chevy PU for less than $2000. I once went to a movie (Darby’s Rangers), my grandfather gave me a quarter. Walked to town, saw the movie, had popcorn and a soda and returned home with change left over. Those were the days, my friend . . . . . Hope to see you at another FB game. Enjoyed visiting in Lubbock . . . . .
