Texas Tech relies on a variety of financial aid sources to increase the university's affordability. This may include scholarships, grants, student employment, student loans, and waivers.
Students can put themselves in the best position for the most aid by following these steps:
- At Texas Tech, eligibility for financial aid is based on financial and household information
that is reported on financial aid applications. Since grant funding is limited, priority
is given to early applicants.
- The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available for all US citizens. The FAFSA opens October 1 for the following school year at fafsa.gov and the priority date is January 15. Texas Tech code: 003644. Check out this FAFSA Overview video for more information.
- The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is available for all non-US citizens who are Texas residents. The TASFA opens October 1 for the following school year at collegeforalltexans.com. The priority date is January 15.
