STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Applications for Texas Reskilling Support Fund Grants are being accepted for Tarleton State University undergraduate students enrolling for the fall 2021 semester.<\/p>\n
The grant program stems from $175 million given to the\u00a0Texas Higher Education\u00a0Coordinating Board from the Governor\u2019s Emergency Educational Relief Fund, originally part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020.<\/p>\n
A $750,000 coordinating board grant will help Tarleton boost workers displaced by COVID-19 and students who stopped short of completing their undergraduate degree.<\/p>\n
For those who qualify, grants of up to $1,500 will cover tuition and fees. The typical award is around $1,500 for the fall semester only. Undergraduate admission application fees will be waived through Aug. 31.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are exciting times at Tarleton as more and more students see our university as a first-choice destination,\u201d said university President James Hurley. \u201cOur students know they are part of the Tarleton family, with faculty and staff ready to help them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students who qualify for a reskilling grant can pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in a variety of programs, including nursing, general business, education, history, criminal justice, accounting, management, communication studies, agribusiness, marketing, human resource management, biomedical science, finance, public health, information technology, industrial technology, mechanical engineering technology, civil engineering, construction science and management.<\/p>\n
Qualifying students must not have been enrolled at any college in 2021 (summer or spring), be admitted to Tarleton for fall 2021, be Texas residents eligible for in-state tuition, have a plan to complete the bachelor\u2019s degree by summer 2022, have filed the 2021-22 FAFSA, and affirm the impact of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
