The financial component of Dual Credit classes are the responsibility of students and their parents. GISD is committed to ensuring partnerships that allow access for all students, regardless of their ability to pay. Therefore, we have carefully cultivated partnerships with both Ranger and Weatherford College to ensure Dual Credit is a possibility for all students with regard to financial aid. In addition, GISD offers an academic scholarship for qualifying students. See below for information on all of the financial aid opportunities available to Dual Credit students at Gordon ISD.
Financial Aid is available for students who qualify from both of our partner colleges. For both colleges, students and their parents must fill out the Federal Application for Financial Aid (FAFSA). Financial Aid will significantly lower, if not eliminate the cost of dual credit for qualifying students, so we encourage all to apply. Please see each colleges information below for the explanation of Financial Aid available.

DUAL CREDIT ONLY: If you would like to be considered for a need-based Dual Enrollment Grant (DEG), please fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA, available through the financial aid office).
