FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 5, 2015)
WHAT:
Tarrant County College is preparing high school seniors to take advantage of its year-long College Access Program that helps students meet the deadlines necessary to ensure they are ready to enroll in college after earning their high school diplomas in 2016.
Students will be able to visualize themselves in college after meeting with TCC faculty, student service staff and by touring a TCC campus where they will see the broad range of post-high school career options they might consider pursuing through educational programs at TCC.
These students also will be given information about the affordability of TCC tuition – just $885 for 15 college hours – and the breadth and depth of TCC’s programs, which are taught by many of the same professors also teaching at area four-year colleges and universities.
From now until they graduate, TCC will assist area seniors with completing the admissions application, preparing for the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Test, financial aid and follow-up assistance to ensure they complete the enrollment process. Each TCC college access coordinator will work with students from specific Tarrant County schools. Coordinators will spend numerous hours on high school campuses and at area college nights to ensure Tarrant County students are introduced into the college-going culture.
