General Scholarship Information
An internship with congress in Washington, D.C., research on cancer drugs or a semester in a foreign country are only some of the exceptional opportunities available to students who qualify for an Experiential Learning IMPACT Scholarship. Awards of $3,000 will support Presidential Endowed Scholars or Honors Endowed Scholars who want to enhance their education with hands-on experience.
The scholarship office is dedicated to helping undergraduate students with
scholarship needs. The scholarship office awards undergraduate students with
need-based scholarships, processes all scholarships for the university and
hosts a list of outside scholarships that are available. At Texas Tech
University, scholarships are awarded 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 such as:
-high school attended
-current major
-county you live in
-extra-curricular activities etc.
Texas Tech University distributes over $13 million in scholarship money each
year. These scholarships are from both institutional and private sources.
INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS
Institutional scholarships at Texas Tech are provided by scholarship donors.
These scholarships are awarded by colleges, academic departments, and the
financial aid department within Texas Tech.
COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHIPS FOR NON-RESIDENT FEE WAIVERS
The recipient of a competitive institutional scholarship of at least $1000 for
the academic year and/or summer for which the student is enrolled is entitled
to pay in-state tuition rates. That means non-resident students may receive the
benefit of resident tuition. An official Texas Tech University scholarship
committee must award the scholarship and the recipient must compete with other
students, including Texas residents. This amount could be a combination of
several smaller scholarships from TTU that total $1000 or more, or one Texas
Tech award of $1000.
PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIPS
Private scholarships are scholarships that are not controlled by the University,
rather by the donors themselves. These scholarships are awarded through the
individual donors and the money is sent to Texas Tech to be disbursed.
