We’re excited to announce that Ranger College has partnered with the Food Pantry of West Central Texas! This new collaboration allows us to expand access to our Campus Pantry, which will now be available to community members, in addition to students and employees beginning Tuesday, March 18th, 2025. 

To access the pantry, students at the Main Campus must complete a Household Intake Form. This helps us ensure that we can provide the necessary resources in a fair and efficient manner. We are here to help you succeed, and our pantry is just one of the many ways we support our community.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the form, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Ranger College is proud to announce its selection as a recipient of the Texas Reskilling and Upskilling through Education (TRUE) Grant Program. This grant will enable Ranger College to create a 6-month training program to prepare students for a career as an Information Security Analyst, a field with strong employment growth and competitive wages. The program, developed in collaboration with local and regional industry employers, has course content aligned with industry expectations. It equips students with essential cybersecurity skills that meet today’s job market demands through four 8-week courses. At the conclusion of the program participants will take the Security+ or OSA in Cybersecurity certification exams, opening doors to immediate employment opportunities. 

Designed with flexibility and accessibility in mind, the program is fully online. Thanks to the TRUE Grant, the first 10 students enrolled in the program will have their tuition, supplies, and certification testing costs fully covered, removing financial barriers to this opportunity. This grant enables us to address the cybersecurity skills gap while empowering students to secure high earning jobs. This initiative supports the TRUE Grant’s mission to create short-term, industry-aligned training programs and underscores Ranger College’s dedication to workforce development and empowering students with skills for economic mobility.
