The Career Clothing Fund<\/strong> is a discretionary fund for students needing career clothing items appropriate for the ACTIVE MOVE TOWARD EMPLOYMENT<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a one-time funding source designed to “launch” a student’s work experience. Funds are distributed directly to awarded students through their BankMobile account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Tarleton State students can apply for funds to help with expenses associated with the move to employment or gaining employment, or expenses associated with specialty career related items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Applications will be reviewed and processed during each academic semester. Applications received during breaks (when classes are not in session, on holidays, or during campus closures) will be processed when business processes at the university resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
