Abilene Wylie ISD and Tarleton State leaders cemented the agreement April 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with Abilene Wylie 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

Admitted freshmen must submit a general scholarship application to determine eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership will help our students further their progress toward realizing a college degree,\u201d said Abilene Wylie Superintendent Joey Light. \u201cTarleton State\u2019s commitment to surrounding high schools is going to pay dividends to our students for many years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
