Sponsored by Rose State College, the Ticket to Rose Program provides an opportunity for high school graduates whose primary family residence is located in the Star Spencer area. Graduates who meet the criteria will have the opportunity to receive financial assistance for tuition and mandatory fees for up to 66 attempted credit hours, or three consecutive years, whichever comes first. The need for assistance through the Ticket to Rose program is determined by the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If the student receives assistance from a free source of aid, the amount paid by the Ticket to Rose program may be reduced or eliminated. Students are responsible for textbooks, supplies, or housing.

Since Ticket to Rose is partially funded through The Technical Area Education District, which is supported by the citizens of the immediate service area, students receiving Ticket to Rose funding are required to participate in community service programs, allowing students to give back to the surrounding communities.
