STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Beginning with the Class of 2024, Birdville 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
Birdville ISD and Tarleton State leaders cemented the agreement in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPartnering with Birdville 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
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
\u201cThis agreement opens new avenues for our students, providing them with enhanced educational opportunities and pathways to higher education,\u201d said Dr. Gayle Stinson, Birdville ISD Superintendent. \u201cIt\u2019s a significant step forward in preparing our students for future success, and we look forward to the collaborative initiatives that will enrich their academic journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
