Stephenville, Texas \u2014 Beginning with the Class of 2024, Magnolia Independent School District seniors in the top 50 percent of their graduating class will earn automatic admission to Tarleton State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of its Distinguished High School Partners program, Tarleton State also will waive application fees for students who qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magnolia ISD and Tarleton State leaders cemented the agreement in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPartnering with Magnolia 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
