• Governor's Summer Merit Program Application

  • Tarrant County College District was awarded a Governor’s Summer Merit Program grant for Summer 2025. The Governor’s Summer Merit Program provides youth interested in a STEM field to enroll in a camp that focuses on science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). Administered by TWC, the Governor’s Summer Merit Program aims to inspire Texas youth to pursue STEM-related careers. The camps introduce campers to one or more of six industry clusters: advanced technologies and manufacturing, aerospace and defense, biotechnology and life sciences, information and computer technology, petroleum refining and chemical products, and energy. This program is free for eligible students.
