Rocket Nation - College Readiness

Welcome, Rockets!

The Irvin High School college readiness team, along with the academic counselors, have a variety of resources available to our students. Our goal is to offer support and guidance for students in achieving their post secondary goals, to include attending a college/university or trade school, enlisting in a military branch or a combination as best suits the student.

We invite ALL of our students to visit us! There is no need to wait for your senior year, your college and career preparation STARTS NOW, it is never too early and there are several opportunities reserved for grades 9 -11.

The following are just some of the various ways that we can assist:

College Presentations and Campus Tours
College Admission Applications and Assistance
Military Presentations, ASVAB Test dates and Recruiter Contacts
Financial Aid Information There is free money for college! Senior students may complete an application to verify eligibility.
- FAFSA - The Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Eligibility guidelines include: be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen.
- TASFA - The Texas Application for State Financial Aid. Foreign students or non U.S. Citizen students that are classified as a Texas Resident who cannot apply for FAFSA are encouraged to complete the TASFA.
SAT/ACT Registration
Scholarship Applications
TSI EXAM - There are several opportunities for high school students to earn college credits while still enrolled in high school. Some of these courses require students pass the Texas Success Initiative Exam before enrollment.
