Applying for Scholarships

The Whitacre College of Engineering Dean's Office offers a number of donor funded scholarships.

• Incoming first-year and transfer students can apply at www.applytexas.org or https://www.commonapp.org/
• Current students can apply at www.scholarships.ttu.edu and click on "Current Student."

The scholarship selection is competitive. The application on the main TTU Scholarship Office website covers consideration for scholarships offered by Texas Tech, Engineering Dean's Office and Engineering Department levels. Students do not apply for individual scholarships. The student is matched to the scholarship he/she qualifies.
