Note: This is NOT a scholarship. This is financial aid for students.

• Deadline: 15th of each month
• Students submit online application to committee chair.
• Students schedule an appointment to discuss application- financial need with committee chair.
• Application Link: TPEG Online Application

The TPEG is for very special situations where there is a critical and compelling need to assist a student who has had a sudden and major financial need/problem. It is NOT for chronic financial mismanagement, neglect, and/or abuse. TPEG funding is limited and awards are usually very modest at best. Awards are normally not made during a student's first year at TTU.

Examples of important issues might include, but are not limited to: currency fluctuations in home country or a natural disaster in home country which would affect the economy and financial services sector; thus affecting a student's ability to receive enough funds from home country to pay financial obligations here in the U.S. A TPEG is not meant to pay required student fees. It is not a scholarship and does not waive out-of-state-tuition for students. Any application for a TPEG must be correctly, rigorously, and timely documented to demonstrate need.

Without satisfactory documentation, an application will NOT be considered. Students should fill the TPEG Online Application. They must also schedule an appointment to review and discuss their application with the committee chair.
