STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS—Tarleton State University is making new additions and changes to the Dick Smith Scholarship for the College of Science and Technology and College of Liberal and Fine Arts.
For the current scholarships, incoming freshman must be ranked in the top 25 percent of their class and have an ACT composite of 25 or higher or SAT total of 1100 or higher. Returning students must complete at least 15 hours each semester and have a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.2 for the current semester and cumulative average. The current budget for the scholarship account is $195,000 and each student is awarded $3,000.
Due to investment income and oil royalties, Tarleton has additional funds to add two new components for the ‘09-10 academic school year. Both colleges will award two Dick Smith Premiere Scholarships for incoming freshmen and each college will have three new graduate scholarships to award.
The Dick Smith Premier Scholarship will be $9,000 per student. Each student must major in the College of Science and Technology or the College of Liberal and Fine Arts. Applicants must be ranked in the top 25 percent of their graduating class and have an ACT composite of 30 or higher or an SAT total of 1350 or higher.
To be eligible for the graduate scholarships, new graduate students must have a 3.2 graduate GPA and returning graduate students must have a 3.5 graduate GPA. Graduate applicants must also enroll in six hours of graduate work for the College of Science and Technology or the College of Liberal and Fine Arts.
To apply for all Tarleton scholarships, including the Dick Smith Scholarship, submit the general scholarship application available at www.tarleton.edu/~scholars before Feb. 15, 2009.
