UT Arlington to partner on new scholarship promise
FORT WORTH — Students at a Fort Worth elementary school can one day earn full-tuition scholarships at The University of Texas at Arlington.
UT Arlington President James D. Spaniolo, Tarrant County College interim Chancellor Erma Johnson Hadley, and Fort Worth Independent School District Superintendent Melody Johnson announced a new partnership at Nash Elementary School.
Nash students who graduate from a Fort Worth school district high school and meet the Nash Challenge guidelines will earn a full-tuition scholarship, including books, from Tarrant County College. If they earn an associate's degree from TCC and qualify for a Pell grant, students will then earn free tuition and fees from UT Arlington.
About 75% of Nash's 250 students are considered economically disadvantaged, but it is one of the district's 12 exemplary elementary schools.
