PASE from page 5 tuition is quite substantial. In-state tuition at UTEP is approximately $7,018 and out-of-state is $17,748 per year. Mariel Sosa, senior international business major, said that without the PASE program she wouldn’t be able to afford the high costs to receive a college degree. “If I didn’t have the PASE program I wouldn’t even be here,” Sosa said. “I wouldn’t even be able to help my parents with my education.” Sosa works as a student assistant for the School of Nursing and as fit- ness instructor at the Student Rec- reation Center, to pay for the rest of her education. Once the prospective PASE member applies to UTEP, there are additional tasks to be met such as an English proficiency test. Prospective students then apply for financial aid, not through the state but through the PASE program. “Usually when a Mexican national applies to the university, they usually apply to the PASE program,” Ober- heide, said. “A vast majority of our Mexican nationals qualify for the PASE program.” Students that are accepted into the PASE program must renew their validity every academic year—fall, spring and summer—to be re-certified the next year. To be a part of Noche Universitaria, anyone in the community can register through the U.S. Consulate for security purposes. According to Edens, being able to host Noche Universitaria in the U.S. Consulate will benefit not only the PASE program but also UTEP, increasing the amount of students who realize their dreams of achieving a college degree. “We’re very proud to have the large number of Mexican nationals students here on our campus today,” Edens said. “These are students that wake up early to cross that bridge, to go to class, to study, and go back to the bridge at night, these are students that do this with a strong work ethic and we’re here to facilitate their dreams of getting a higher-education.” Marilyn Aleman may be reached at [email protected].
