Scholarships and Fellowships
At the Graduate level of study, students need to check with both their academic department and the Graduate School for potential scholarship opportunities through Texas Tech University:
- As a general rule, the Graduate School accepts applications early in the Spring Semester for awards for the upcoming academic year. Applicants do not have to be officially admitted to a TTU graduate program when applying for our scholarships. Additionally, applying to the Graduate School does not automatically qualify you for our scholarships - you will need to fill out the online application.
- Please click on any scholarship below for more details including award amount and duration and eligibility requirements.
- For questions or assistance, please contact gradfellowships@ttu.edu or donna.rogers@ttu.edu
- Grants and loans are available through the Office of Student Financial Aid
