The Tarrant To & Through (T3) Partnership commits to: 1) Supporting your student on their journey to graduate high school; 2) Helping them create a customized plan for life after high school; 3) Ensuring they complete a degree or credential to attain a meaningful career and living-wage job.
Parents & Families
Your encouragement and belief in your student's future helps them choose the right path after high school. We're here to support you in the process, too.
How Does the T3 Partnership Support Your Student?
Here's What You Need to Know:
When your student takes the T3 Pledge, we'll help them build a customized plan focused on life after high school called a "Postsecondary Success Plan". If eligible, your student will have access to a variety of supports such as:
- "Last Dollar" Tuition-Free Scholarship to TCC: Eligible students will receive a scholarship for up to 8 consecutive semesters (not including summer) or the completion of a certificate or associate degree at Tarrant County College. In other words, last dollar scholarships cover the gap -- any last dollars needed to cover the student's tuition after financial aid is applied. Please check the family income requirements for scholarship eligibility. If a student does not meet income thresholds, they are still eligible for other T3 supports.
- "Last Dollar" Tuition-Free Scholarship to UTA: Effective Fall 2021, eligible students will receive a “last dollar” tuition-free scholarship to UTA for up to eight semesters or the completion of a degree. This scholarship will cover any remaining tuition costs after financial aid has been applied. Visit the UTA + T3 webpage for more information. If your family does not meet the required income threshold of $65,000 or less for this opportunity, your student is still eligible for other T3 program supports.
- "First Dollar" Scholarship to a T3 Partner University: If your student takes the T3 Pledge, graduates from a Fort Worth ISD high school and meets family income requirements, they will receive a $500+/per year scholarship for up 4 years to a T3 partner university. Dollars can support books or other educational expenses.
- Bridge Programming & College Persistence Coaching: One-on-one and group advising + assistance to and through their college experience.
We consider it a privilege to take this journey alongside your family. Learn more by visiting the Eligible Schools page to better understand the types of supports your student could receive.
