As part of its Distinguished College Partnership, Tarleton State, which has its main campus in Stephenville, will provide annual scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000 to Blinn College transfer students with a minimum 3.0 GPA.
Awards will be divided between fall and spring semesters based on enrollment and will be renewable up to three years with satisfactory academic progress. Application fees will be waived for those with demonstrated need.
Tarleton State University President Dr. James Hurley said the Distinguished College Partnership with Blinn “deepens our determination for educational opportunity and affordability.” He said the agreement strengthens the partnership between the two institutions, as well as their “combined commitment to ensure success for all students.”
Tarleton State and Blinn are also partners in the RELLIS Academic Alliance, where students begin their studies at Blinn in Bryan before continuing their education onsite with universities throughout The Texas A&M University System.
Blinn Chancellor Dr. Mary Hensley said the College’s collaboration with Tarleton State “provides a seamless pathway to affordable bachelor’s degree programs, encouraging students to aim higher and pursue their dreams.”
