The Texas Public Education Grant (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 problem.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

• Only current TTU International students may be awarded.

• International students must be enrolled half-time during the semester they apply. (graduate students must be enrolled in 5 hours and undergraduate in 6 hours)

• International students must have completed a year of study at TTU and in Lubbock to be eligible.

• TPEG grant applications are open from the 1st through the 10th of that award cycle month (September, October, November & February, March, April). Applications submitted after that date (10th) will not normally be considered.

• TPEG funds will be awarded on or before the 24th of every month between September-November and February-April.

• The TPEG Committee will notify award winners by the 23rd of the month for that cycle.

The Texas Public Education Grant (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 problem. It is not for chronic financial mismanagement, neglect, and abuse. TPEG funding is limited and awards are usually very modest at best. Awards are normally not made during a student's first year as a student at Texas Tech.

Examples of important issues might be, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations in one's home country, or a natural disaster in one's home country which affects the economy and the financial services sector and, thus, a student's ability to receive enough funds from his native country to pay his financial obligations here in the United States.

A TPEG is not meant to be used to pay required student fees. It is not a scholarship and does not waive out-of-state tuition. Any application for a TPEG must be correctly, rigorously, and timely documented. Without satisfactory documentation, an application will not be considered.
