STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014Tarleton State University will provide annual scholarships and guarantee admission to Argyle High School seniors who graduate in the top 25 percent of their class beginning with the Spring 2022 graduating class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Argyle Independent School District and Tarleton leaders finalized the agreement with a memorandum signed late last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The university will offer scholarships of at least $1,000 each year to Argyle\u2019s top graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis collaboration aligns with our mission to provide a high-quality experience to students in our area,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cOur reputation for student focus and big-effect undergraduate research is growing. With that comes our ability to attract high school seniors who will become game changers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarleton is developing similar agreements with school districts in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am very excited about the memorandum of understanding that allows our students automatic admission and scholarship money,\u201d said Argyle ISD Superintendent Telena Wright. \u201cWe are committed to providing a rigorous learning environment for all our students, and we are dedicated to our mission of empowering students to become ambitious, proficient, socially responsible citizens and leaders of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The President\u2019s Guaranteed Scholarship Program assures first-time-in-college students graduating in the top quarter of their high school class between $1,000 and $4,000 in scholarships.
