This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide a high-quality experience to students from across the region.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarleton is developing similar agreements with school districts in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am proud of our Del Valle ISD students for representing some of the few in the&nbsp;state whom Tarleton State University is partnering with,\u201d said Dr. Annette Tielle, DVISD Superintendent. \u201cOur students deserve the best, and this is one way for them to receive an amazing opportunity for their future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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<p>For more information on the President\u2019s Guaranteed Scholarship Program, go to&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/Guaranteed%20Scholarship\"><strong>www.tarleton.edu\/GuaranteedScholarship<\/strong><\/a>.
