STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014Brock Independent School District seniors in the top 50% of their graduating class will continue to earn automatic admission to Tarleton State University, thanks to a four-year 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
Brock ISD and Tarleton State leaders signed the renewal in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cContinuing our partnership with Brock 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
\u201cWe are very honored and excited to continue our partnership with Tarleton State,\u201d said Brock ISD Superintendent Dr. Shannon Luis. \u201cIt is through partnerships like this one that we are able to provide even more opportunities for our students to excel once they graduate from Brock ISD. We look forward to working alongside Dr. Hurley and his team to benefit our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
