TSU Newsroom
STEPHENVILLE One of the fastest-growing regional universities in the country and the state’s sixth largest independent school district cemented an agreement Tuesday evening as a prototype to boost post-secondary education nationwide.
Beginning with the 2021-22 school year, Tarleton State University will provide annual scholarships and guarantee admission to Fort Worth ISD seniors who graduate in the top 25% of their class. The icing on the cake is that Tarleton will select one FWISD graduating senior each year to receive a $10,000 annual scholarship, renewable for up to 4 years. The award will result in an annual commitment of $40,000 to the school district.
