POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS
GROWING TOGETHER IN NORTH TEXAS
Higher education means so much more than books and tests and diplomas. We believe it is about shaping the next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who will continue to bring positive change to North Texas, and beyond.
We take seriously our responsibility to transform lives, build partnerships, and grow together, so Tarleton State Fort Worth remains committed to four main pillars: expanding access, removing barriers, supporting community and looking ahead.
EXPANDING ACCESS
REMOVING BARRIERS
SUPPORTING COMMUNITY
LOOKING AHEAD
CROWLEY ISD Tarleton Today is a dual credit program that is helping more than 300 Crowley and North Crowley high school students earn university credit on the Tarleton State Fort Worth campus before they graduate. This allows them to experience college life and accelerate their college preparation before they complete their high school degree. Currently, the program offers courses including English composition, literature, education, and U.S. history. Tarleton State already works with approximately 420 high schools statewide through our Distinguished High School Partners outreach. Launched in 2020, this program guarantees admission and provides annual scholarships to qualifying seniors, helping to remove barriers to access for hundreds of Texas students.
PURPLE PANTRY We believe nothing should hold students back from getting the education they need to thrive. That is why we partnered with MW Cares Foundation to open The Purple Pantry, a cutting- edge food pantry designed to provide students facing food insecurity with essential resources. This self-service, grocery store-style pantry features privacy glass and an automated entry system so students can simply scan their ID, enter discreetly, and select what they need without restrictions or supervision.
AREA SCHOOLS Tarleton State is committed to teacher preparation and working with partners to expand educator pipelines. The new Paraprofessional to Teacher Pathway Collaborative will include Alvarado, Cleburne, Everman, and Fort Worth ISDs; Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County and Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas; Region 11 Education Service Center; Tarrant County College and Hill College.
TRANSPORTATION Tarleton State is working closely with Trinity Metro and its leadership team to improve transportation access to Tarleton State Fort Worth by exploring bus, bike, and TEXRail. By strategizing together, we will remove barriers to education for commuter students across the region.
