Dear CSU Family,

As some of you may know, my husband and I are huge Rams fans.  That being said, I wanted you all to know that it’s time to renew your season tickets for the 2009 football season! 

Athletics is hosting an online renewal weekly drawing for suite tickets, food, and prizes.  You can renew your season tickets at http://csurams.cstv.com/

Have a great weekend!

Joyce

Dear Colorado State University Friends and Family,
I wanted to wish you all a safe and fun-filled Spring Break.  The campus is “greening up” with the oval is showing signs of Spring.  We look forward to seeing you upon your return. 

Best wishes,

Joyce

Dear Friends,

Financial crisis in a family can mean hard decisions about college educations. Some Colorado State University students have had to leave school to work full time to pay their bills. Others can no longer rely on the financial support of their parents who may have lost their jobs.

Sadly, many of the students we are losing – or will lose as time goes on – are very close to completing the requirements to earn a degree.

To help keep students from having to abandon their education goals, Colorado State has established the Student Support Grant, an “emergency fund” for students close to graduation, whose financial resources have been depleted.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, during an adult’s working life, high school graduates earn an average of $1.2 million; associate’s degree holders earn about $1.6 million; and bachelor’s degree holders earn about $2.1 million.

Mackenzie, a Colorado State student, exemplifies how a small financial boost can change a life.

She left Colorado State six credits shy of her degree to work full time to make ends meet. A $500 grant, which covered her tuition, brought her back to campus to take the classes she needs to graduate. In May, Mackenzie plans to receive her degree.
