STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Springtown Independent School District seniors in the top 50% of their graduating class will continue to earn automatic admission to Tarleton State University, thanks to the 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 or SAT requirements for students in the top half of their class and application fees for students who qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Springtown ISD and Tarleton State leaders inked the renewal in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContinuing our partnership with Springtown 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
\u201cSpringtown ISD is thrilled to continue our partnership with Tarleton State,\u201d said Springtown ISD Superintendent Shane Strickland. \u201cThis agreement paves the way for incredible opportunities for our graduating seniors, enabling them to seamlessly pursue their postsecondary education and achieve their academic and career aspirations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
