External Scholarships FAQ

Scholarships do not have to come solely from TTU, they can also come from outside resources such as churches, civic organizations, local schools, etc. We recommend that these are sent to our office so we can apply them directly to your student account.


There is no need to report anticipated external scholarships at this time. Awards are applied within 24-48 hours of being received. Please ensure that scholarships are submitted to the following address:

Texas Tech University
Scholarship Office
West Hall, Room 301
Box 45011
