Winter break is the perfect time to take a breather, relax with family, and knock out a couple of “college to-do’s.” Here are 5 things you can do this winter break to get ready for college.
1. Submit your FAFSA
This year, FAFSA applications will open December 31st! FAFSA is distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, so make sure that you submit your application as soon as possible! The sooner you submit your FAFSA, the more likely it is for you to receive more federal aid. So don’t wait; submit your FAFSA as soon as possible!

2. Knock out some scholarship apps
Or just one! Submit a Tarleton General Scholarship Application and you are automatically considered for over $8 million in Tarleton scholarships! Plus, if you qualify for the guaranteed scholarship program, a scholarship application is required.
3. Complete your TSI testing
If you need to test in any area of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), your winter break may be the perfect time to sign up for testing. Tarleton offers in-person and remote TSI testing by appointment.
6. Sign up for Texan Orientation
Texan Orientation is open! Review the available Texan Orientation dates with your family and sign up! Texan Orientations run March through July and is a required event for admitted students and there are limited spots available for each date! You will leave orientation registered for classes, so sign up early!

5. Secure your Housing
Securing your housing at Tarleton is a two-step process! Step one- complete the first-year housing application. Step two- pay your $100 housing deposit. Once both steps are completed, Tarleton’s Office of Residence Life will assign your residence hall, room, and roommates!
