Test Optional Scholarships While students may select test optional for admission purposes, students may submit test scores for scholarship consideration. Students who apply test-optional will be evaluated holistically for merit scholarships. Students who originally designated to apply test-optional for scholarships may email scholarships@ttu.edu to request their test scores to be considered. Students are able to make this request and submit scores until May 1 of their senior year to qualify for merit scholarships. After that, merit scholarships are based on availability of funding. |
