Tarleton State University

Tarleton State University is a place where tradition and school spirit run deep, without losing sight of academic excellence. From Purple Pancakes and the quirky fun of Purple Poo, to S’mores with the Hurleys, Midnight Yell, and the unforgettable Bonfire, there's always something to bring the campus community together. Student success is key at Tarleton, with plenty of opportunities for study sessions, mentorship, and academic support. From the first moments at Duck Camp to the pride of Graduation Day, Tarleton is dedicated to shaping well-rounded, confident students ready to take on the world. I am a 3rd generation Tarleton student and sixth in my family to attend. For me there was no other place that I would rather be to continue my education.

My attraction to TSU was the fact I would have been the 3rd generation to attend. I really like the Master's program for the Athletic Training.

What makes me want to attend Tarleton state university is because of the culture and for making music. what i want to learn there is how the music is made there and what the culture is like because i love to learn about them and put it into my music somehow and someway to make it better and existing

I have already been accepted to attend this Fall, but I will not be able to go unless I can raise enough money. It has my dream program to help me achieve everything I have wanted since I was very little: To be A lepidopterist.

I've only heard good things about Tarleton, though I've never experienced the Tarleton life, but everyone just seems so friendly.. despite whether they're failing or not, they never falter in keeping a positive mood, and I feel like that's builds the school in general.

I love the cozy community that Tarleton State gives to there students and am so excited to be attending in the fall. We will have to work hard to get me through college due to cost so this 1,000 dollar scholarship will help so much. Thank you for your time I hope you will consider me for this scholarship

My dream school.

The college is lovely, it has a very homely welcoming feel while still having a lot to do around the town. The campus is beautiful and everyone I have met has been extremely kind.

Overall, Tarleton State University is the perfect campus for me given its social work programs and different campuses that bring a change of scenery to what would normally be a mundane college experience. After touring the Fort Worth campus after its recent construction, I was even more motivated given hw much potential there is to have a tight-knit community without having to live on campus. I was also motivated to go there given that my mother is an alumnus of the university. After seeing her experience, it gave me peace of mind knowing that the staff makes it a point to have a relationship with the students. All in all, Tarleton State University is my top choice when pursuing an advanced education.

Growing up, my family was not all that stable, and we bounced around from apartment to apartment because we could not raise enough money to pay the bills from month to month. As our issues worsened, my grandmother would say, "Let God take the wheel." As a young child, I never really understood what that meant, and when I asked my parents about it, they would never respond. However, as I got older, I learned the meaning of "Let God take the wheel" and who God is. Knowing who God is helped me through those dark times and gave me a sense of comfort. But as I got older and started attending more funerals of close family members while we were still getting kicked out of more apartments, I began to wonder, "What God would put a kid through so much hurt and agony?"The farther I walked away from God, the farther my family got from God, and our circumstances got worse. Using alcohol and drugs to lessen the pain and heartache they felt, most of my family were alcoholics, which only made matters worse. My mother stayed gone most of the time, while my father mainly wanted to hang out with his friends more than his family. My Grandma was my rock and always the most God-trusting woman in the family through all this turmoil. I love Tarleton.

It’s a good school, but generally lacks diversity. It has a great welcoming feel for incoming freshman. Tarleton will try to help you accomplish whatever needs to be done for you to be successful. The school is accommodating and is a fun school to be at.

Tarleton State University is a great school filled with awesome people. Even the president is a wonderful person who makes it a life goal to help us succeed in college and walk across the stage. There are a variety of services and utilities for students to get help or information.

It is a great place to further your education. The students and staff are so welcoming and always strive to be better for their students. I wouldn't want to further my education anywhere else. The professors make it a priority to get to know their students no matter what. Tarleton State University is the place to be.

I transferred here and it was the best choice I ever made. The community is amazing and I love being a Tarleton Texan! The professors are good at what they do and I see a bright future for myself here. I love going to the thrift stores around campus and going to the football games.

Tarleton State University is an agriculture based college and it definitely shows in the population on campus. With most traditions being agriculture base but that can be expected as we are in the cowboy capital of America. The overall experience though is one that is welcoming and pride as we are big on traditions and our extracurricular organizations. The campus itself is well maintained and offers a pretty diverse amount of facilities such as an indoor aquatics center. Overall my time at Tarleton has been a pleasure as they cater to a vast amount of passions and interests so you are bound to have a sense of belonging at Tarleton State University.
