Welcome to the ISSP Office

The OIA International Sponsored Student Programs Office is proud to serve international sponsored students from around the world, currently with students from 25 different nations. We support sponsored students by providing services such as immigration counseling, continual one-on-one advising on academic and personal issues, and administrative support. For sponsors, the ISSP Office works as a liaison with students and other TTU departments, assists with third-party billing, sends transcripts and other reports, and coordinates sponsor campus visits.

What is a sponsor?

Sponsors are third-party agencies who provide a guarantee of payment for student registration, tuition, and fees. Qualifying sponsors can be, among others, corporations, private organizations, government agencies and international embassies. Tuition and fees will be charged to sponsoring agencies provided that a financial guarantee has been received and approved by the ISSP Office for each student. Sponsors are not family members or other individuals who are supporting a student.
