STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Beginning with the high school graduating class of 2023, Tarleton State University will provide annual scholarships and guarantee admission to Lake Travis High School seniors who graduate in the top 50 percent of their class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lake Travis Independent School District and Tarleton leaders finalized the agreement with a memorandum signed last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the Distinguished High School Partnership, Tarleton will waive ACT (American College Test) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) requirements for students in the top 50 percent of their class and application fees for students who qualify. The university will offer scholarships of at least $1,000 each year to LTISD\u2019s top graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis collaboration aligns with our mission to provide a high-quality experience to students in our region,\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
\u201cThis agreement creates wonderful opportunities for both institutions,\u201d said Paul Norton, Lake Travis ISD Superintendent of Schools. \u201cFor us, it ensures higher educational opportunities for students following high school graduation from LTISD. We are grateful to Tarleton State University for its partnership and shared vision for increased access to postsecondary studies.\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. 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
