As part of its Distinguished High School Partners program, Tarleton State also will waive ACT or SAT requirements for students in the top half of their class and application fees for students who qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ector County ISD and Tarleton State leaders cemented the agreement in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with Ector County ISD ensures that some of the brightest students in Texas have the opportunity for a high-quality university experience,\u201d said Tarleton State President Dr. James Hurley. \u201cThis partnership aligns with our commitment to be a first-choice institution for high school seniors in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTarleton State\u2019s collaboration with ECISD in the Distinguished High School Partnership Program signifies a transformative step forward for all of our students,\u201d said ECISD Superintendent Dr. Scott Muri. \u201cWith automatic admissions and enhanced scholarship opportunities, our students have new incentives and motivation to pursue their post-secondary goals.\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 State\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
