Higher Education
- Making College Affordable
Wendy Davis will work with the legislature to rein in the skyrocketing costs of college and fully fund grants that help hardworking Texans get to college and prepare for careers.
She will also expand college credit access for high school students that will put college within reach for a new generation of Texans.
- Creating Opportunity for All Texans
Wendy Davis coauthored legislation that established a new university in South Texas within the University of Texas System, which will result in a single institution that serves the entire Rio Grande Valley. This expansion of the university system represents a step toward bringing higher education resources outside of the main Central Texas corridors and improving access to higher education for students.
In addition, Wendy Davis coauthored legislation to help Texas universities reach Tier One status to ensure all Texans have access to quality and affordable higher education opportunities.
Wendy Davis will fight to make more Texas schools Tier One schools, thereby expanding access to top education opportunities and bringing world-class research programs and economic growth to communities across the state.
- Honoring Our Heroes
Wendy Davis also worked to strengthen the Hazlewood Act, which offers veterans expanded opportunity and financial encouragement to pursue higher education.
Wendy Davis supports the College Credit for Heroes program, which allows colleges and universities to award course credit for experience, education and training obtained during military service. This program helps veterans save time and money as they pursue degrees and transition into the civilian workforce.
