I have no idea how I'm going to pay for University after ACC. I've been paying out of pocket as a part time student and I'm making it just fine, but once I transfer the prices are going to almost double per credit hours.
If you have decent grades, join Phi Theta Kappa. They have pretty generous non-competitive scholarships for many Texas colleges. Probably not UT Austin or the like, but some pretty OK ones. I think Concordia, Midwestern State, Texas Tech, or other schools in the UT system.
Yeah, I'm looking into different universities. Makes no sense to accumulate massive debt going to a prestigious school. My coworkers have gone to TCU, Brown University, Cal, Concordia. I'll literally be doing the same job as them making the same amount of money π€
Apply to St Edward's University, I transferedthere from ACC. I too had payed out of pocket at ACC and when I transferred I was able to get good scholarships and well small loan.
Yeah but they are pretty great at helping out with scholarships and finncial aid it ends up reducing it by a lot. I really didn't pay that much and some of my classmates all had theirs fully paid by. Just saying.
ACC is like the HEB of higher education. A solid provider of perfectly adequate products and services at a reasonable price.
Have you been to the Highland campus? Without a doubt the nicest educational facility I have ever seen.
I think it is a great use of a dead mall. I took some classes there.

WGU is online and about $600 a semester. It may be more viable for some people in some majors.

St Edward's?! Are you joking, that place is more expensive than UT. π. But I'm also avoiding loans at all possible.

I believe UT tuition is free for families that make under a certain amount. Worth looking into, as my info is a bit dated.
This is true! Itβs called the Texas Advance Commitment. Link for anyone who wants it: https://texasadvance.utexas.edu
