Texas A&M University- Texarkana has announced a new partnership with Bowie County, Texas that will allow county employees to receive discounted tuition towards classes at the university. The partnership benefit includes a tuition discount for full-time employees and is applicable to both degree and non-degree seeking programs. The partnership was finalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on November 25, 2024, at the Bowie County Commissioner’s Court in New Boston, Texas.
The tuition discount is applicable to programs of all academic levels, including baccalaureate, graduate, certificate, and micro-credential. Classes are available in face-to-face, online, and hybrid formats and there is no fee needed to apply. In addition to the tuition discount, any eligible employee who is a new student at the university enrolling in at least 6 credit hours of undergraduate or graduate coursework is eligible to receive the First Flight Scholarship, which allows them to take their first class free of charge.
“We are pleased to announce that our newest academic partnership is with the hard-working employees of Bowie, County, Texas,” said Texas A&M University- Texarkana President Dr. Ross Alexander. “Government employees, including many first responders, are the lifeblood of any community. They spend their workday in service of their constituents, and we are proud to help them as they work towards completing degrees that will help them build a better future for themselves.”
