Students that receive free or reduced lunches may qualify for a dual credit scholarship.  These scholarships are made available by Texarkana College and DeKalb High School’s Disadvantaged Scholarship, DeKalb Professional Women's Association and DeKalb KARES.  Students need to apply for these scholarships each semester prior to classes starting.  Application deadlines will be announced during the Daily Announcements and during Dual Credit Classes.

 Please see the steps to getting registered for those classes below.

Step 1:  Choose dual credit course(s) when picking schedule for the next school year

Students that receive free or reduced lunches may qualify for a FAST dual credit scholarship.  These scholarships are made available by Texarkana College. This scholarship doesn’t require an additional scholarship application.
