Undergraduate Scholarship Information

The Hospitality and Retail Management (HRM) department, in conjunction with the College of Human Sciences, offers a variety of undergraduate scholarships of different amounts. In order for a student to receive a scholarship from HRM, it is a requirement of the College of Human Sciences that the student completes an undergraduate scholarship application via the university's scholarship websites and provides additional documentation (see application checklist).

Failure to provide promptly all information requested could result in disqualification of the application. Check your TTU email account for notification of scholarship awards.
