As part of the Distinguished High School Partnership, Tarleton also will waive ACT (American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) requirements for students in the top half of their class and application fees for students who demonstrate financial need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur reputation for student focus is growing,\u201d said Tarleton President James Hurley. \u201cWith that comes our ability to attract high school seniors who want more than classroom knowledge. They want know-how. This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide a high-quality experience to students from across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton is developing similar agreements with other area school districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnnis ISD is excited to be a partner with Tarleton State University,\u201d said district Superintendent Jay Tullos. \u201cThis partnership is an effective way to offer our students a great opportunity to continue their education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President\u2019s Guaranteed Scholarship Program assures first-time-in-college students graduating in the top half of their high school class between $500 and $4,000 in scholarships. Students graduating from one of Tarleton\u2019s Distinguished High School Partners will receive an additional $500 or $1,000. Admitted freshmen must submit a general scholarship application to determine eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
