Verification Information:
To provide relief to millions of students and colleges facing challenges and barriers resulting from the ongoing national emergency, The Department of Education is waiving verification of most Free Application for Federal Student Aid/Institutional Student Information Record (FAFSA®/ISIR) information, except for Identity/Statement of Educational Purpose and High School Completion Status under Verification Tracking Groups V4 and V5. This waiver begins July 13, 2021, and applies for the remainder of the 2021-2022 FAFSA processing and verification cycle. However, this does not exempt institutions from reviewing all documents for conflicting information concerning a student's eligibility. All pending/previously received documents are required to be reviewed. V4, V5, 400/401 and conflicting information all need to be reviewed and resolved and were not waived.
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.
