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.


If you are receiving external scholarships, the first step is to fill out the Estimated External Scholarship Notification Form. This will allow the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office to better calculate your financial aid eligibility.Additionally, it will allow students to see external scholarships on Raiderlink . Learn how to report external scholarships here.




Reporting your external awards through our Notification Form will allow you to use Raiderlink to check for when your scholarship checks are received by our office. From the MyTech tab on Raiderlink, click on Student Financial Aid and select View/Accept Aid Package. Select the Award Year and submit. More Info
