STEPHENVILLE — Beginning with the Class of 2025, Hamilton Independent School District seniors in the top 50 percent of their graduating class will earn automatic admission to Tarleton State University.
As part of its Distinguished High School Partners program, Tarleton State also will waive application fees for students who qualify.
Hamilton ISD and Tarleton State leaders cemented the agreement Sept. 6.
“Partnering with Hamilton ISD ensures that some of the brightest students in Texas have the opportunity for a high-quality university experience,” said Tarleton State President Dr. James Hurley. “This partnership aligns with our commitment to be a first-choice institution for high school seniors in Texas.”
The President’s 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’s Distinguished High School Partners will receive an additional $500 or $1,000. Admitted freshmen must submit a general scholarship application to determine eligibility.
“Hamilton ISD is extremely excited about what this partnership holds with Tarleton State,” said Dr. Harper Stewart, Hamilton ISD Superintendent. “Our students feel connected to Tarleton due to its proximity to Hamilton. This partnership will strengthen that connection, helping our students feel both valued and supported.”
