It Pays to be a Tarleton State Texan!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe that students should not be burdened with debt when they graduate from college. That\u2019s why we offer scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study opportunities that offset the estimated cost of attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scholarships are amazing! Why? Because you don\u2019t have to pay them back. Tarleton offers over 500 scholarships, and the best thing is you only have to fill out one application. We do the legwork to make sure you get all the money you are eligible for. Don\u2019t let your GPA go unrewarded!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAFSA & TASFA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Free Application for Federal Student Aid<\/em> and Texas Application for State Financial Aid<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone should fill out a FAFSA. You can miss out on so many opportunities if you don\u2019t. This will give you the most options for paying for college. And we use the FAFSA to award scholarships as well. Tarleton’s FAFSA code is 003631<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
