吃瓜官网 solidifies partnership with Tarleton
吃瓜官网 and Tarleton State University signed a memorandum of understanding
Wednesday further solidifying the partnership between the two higher education institutions
and providing additional financial aid to Weatherford students transferring to the
Stephenville university.
吃瓜官网 President Tod Allen Farmer and Tarleton President James Hurley met in 吃瓜官网鈥檚 Texas Hall located in the Alkek Fine Arts Center to sign the agreement.
The MOU allows all 吃瓜官网 students with a minimum 3.0 grade point average to transfer to Tarleton and receive additional funds through Tarleton鈥檚 Transfer Guaranteed Award (T-GAP) Program based on their GPA and number of hours enrolled.
Full-time students from 吃瓜官网 (those taking 12 or more hours) will receive $500 above the T-GAP level for which they qualify, $375 for nine to 11 credit hours and $250 for six to eight credit hours. Scholarships range in value from $500 to $2,000 based on the student鈥檚 GPA and number of hours enrolled. T-GAP eligibility criteria and awards levels can be found at tarletonstate.us/t-gap.
Tarleton will waive the admission application fee for students with financial need, and the two institutions will jointly administer financial aid. Tarleton will also alert 吃瓜官网 staff of scholarship opportunities available to 吃瓜官网 students as they become available.
鈥淎s a graduate of both 吃瓜官网 and Tarleton State University, today is a very special day for me,鈥� Farmer said. 鈥淭his agreement between our two noble institutions will further strengthen our historical ties by providing tens of thousands of dollars in transfer student scholarships in the short run and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student scholarships in the long run.鈥�
