Schools Open Friday

After closely assessing road conditions and our buildings, Garland ISD campuses and offices will open at their regularly scheduled time on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Niche can help with every step of the college search including paying for it. We're giving one student $50,000 to help cover tuition, housing, books and other college expenses — no essay required!

High school seniors who apply can also be eligible to receive acceptance (and scholarship!) offers from our Niche Direct Admissions® partner colleges.

Apply for our $50,000 No Essay Scholarship below and focus on your education, not your finances. The winner will be selected by random drawing by January 15th.
