Dear Palominos,

Welcome to Laredo College, a vibrant community dedicated to your growth and success. As you embark on this exciting journey, remember that education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about discovering your potential and shaping your future.

We are proud to offer the Palomino Pledge, a commitment to providing you with the financial resources and support necessary to achieve your academic goals. Like our beloved Palomino mascot, we encourage you to charge forward with determination and resilience. This initiative reflects our dedication to helping you stay on track, whether through academic advising, tutoring, or career services. Your success is our success, and when you thrive, our entire community thrives.

In addition, our meal plan ensures that you have access to affordable dining options on campus while enrolled full-time. We understand the importance of nourishing both mind and body, and we want to ensure that you are prepared to tackle your studies with energy and focus. Enrolling full-time in these programs ensures that you complete your education in a timely manner, staying on track to meet your goals and enter careers or your bachelors’ program sooner. Full-time enrollment offers a structured path that helps students secure both a strong start and a quicker finish.

Embrace every challenge as an opportunity for growth. Each class, project, and interaction offers a chance to learn more about yourself and the world around you. We are here to support you every step of the way, fostering an environment where you can flourish academically, personally, and professionally.

Believe in your dreams, and know that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. The future is bright, and it starts with you. Let’s make the most of this journey together, inspired by the spirit of our Palomino.

Here’s to your success!

Warm regards,
