I chose to study at UTRGV because they are growing and offering opportunities for students to access undergraduate education. UTRGV has many great scholarship programs, including the Tuition Advantage program, and opportunities to develop personally and professionally.
I chose UTRGV because I believe it is a great university. It's affordable, and at the end of my four years, I will graduate debt free. Most importantly, UTRGV has a diverse group of students, and I have made lifelong friends who have changed my life forever.
