STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent School District seniors in the top 50 percent of their graduating class will continue to earn automatic admission to Tarleton State University, thanks to a three-year renewal of the district\u2019s Distinguished High School Partners pact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the program, Tarleton State also waives 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 qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is imperative that we partner with quality universities to provide the very best academic opportunities for our students,\u201d said Dr. Jim F. Chadwell, Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD Superintendent. \u201cThrough this collaboration with Tarleton State University, our students are provided pathways to receive an excellent post-secondary education. We appreciate Tarleton and hope to continue our partnership for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
