We offer a variety of general and merit-based scholarship programs to help ease the cost of your education at Texas Tech. Earning a scholarship starts as you enter your senior year in high school. To increase your chances of an academic award, please apply to Texas Tech as soon as possible. You are encouraged to seek external scholarships which can supplement your award. Texas Tech University offers numerous scholarships for students, depending on varying criteria.
Texas Tech University Presidential Merit Scholarships are awarded to entering first-time freshman and transfer students who show exceptional academic ability. Annual award amounts pay one-half toward fall and one-half toward spring terms. If you are a non-resident awarded a Presidential Scholarship, you will also qualify to pay in-state tuition. Renewal requirements will vary, but applicants should maintain at least a 3.0 GPA and 30 hours. The number of recipients will vary, and deadlines will differ depending on the incoming grade and semester.
