Tarleton will cover the remaining bill amount after the student’s scholarships, grants and exemptions are applied, including meal plans.
President’s Guaranteed Scholarship Program – Freshmen: The President’s Guaranteed Scholarship Program aligns with the 120-year vision of Tarleton’s founder and benefactor to provide a high-quality university education to students who otherwise might not have the chance. Tarleton State will guarantee scholarship levels to entering first-time freshmen who graduate in the top half of their high school class.
President’s Guaranteed Scholarship Program – Transfers: To be considered, students must be admitted to Tarleton State, have 30 transferable hours completed prior to registration and complete the general scholarship application. Awards will be divided between fall and spring semesters based on full-time enrollment and be renewable for up to 3 years with satisfactory academic progress.
Graduate Scholarships
President’s Guaranteed Scholarship Program – Masters Degree: Similarly to the guaranteed undergraduate program, the guaranteed master’s program aligns with the 120-year vision of Tarleton’s founder and benefactor to provide a high-quality university education to students who otherwise might not have the chance. This includes enabling students to pursue an advanced degree which is necessary in many fields. Tarleton State University will guarantee scholarship levels to students earning a new master’s, second master’s or returning master’s degree. In order to be considered, students must complete the general scholarship application and submit a FAFSA, if eligible to apply for federal aid.
The Guaranteed Scholarship Program sets a minimum amount you’ll receive. If you earn additional scholarships, they may replace part of that guaranteed amount. You’ll only see a change if your total scholarships go over the guaranteed amount.
