General Scholarship Information
The TTU Scholarship Office is dedicated to helping undergraduate students with
scholarship needs. We award undergraduate need-based scholarships, merit-based
scholarships, process all scholarships for Texas Tech University, and host a
list of outside scholarships that are available. Texas Tech University
distributes over $20 million in scholarship money annually and awards
scholarships on the basis of academic achievement and/or financial need.
Financial need is rarely the primary factor considered, but it is often used to
make a decision among equally qualified finalists. Many scholarships have
additional qualifications.
MERIT-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
By applying for admission, you have already applied for
merit-based Texas Tech University scholarships. No additional application is
required. These scholarships include the President’s Platinum, President’s
Gold, and President’s Silver Scholarships. More information about merit-based
Texas Tech University scholarships can be found here.

awarded by Texas Tech University colleges, academic departments, and the
financial aid department. These scholarships also include President’s Freshman
Diamond, President’s Transfer Diamond, and President’s Freshman Ruby
Scholarships. More information about institutional competitive scholarships can

SCHOLARSHIPS TO QUALIFY FOR NON-RESIDENT FEE WAIVERS
A non-resident student may be eligible to pay in-state tuition rates if he or
she receives an institutional competitive scholarship or merit-based
scholarship award or awards totaling at least $1,000 for the academic year
and/or summer for which the student is enrolled. A scholarship is considered
“competitive” if an official Texas Tech University scholarship committee awards
the scholarship and the recipient competes against other students, including
Texas residents, in order to be selected for the award.
PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIPS
Private scholarships – or Third Party Scholarships - are
scholarships that are not controlled or awarded by the university, but by the
donors themselves. The money is awarded by third party donors and then sent to
Texas Tech to be disbursed. More information on how to apply for these
scholarships can be found here.
