Scholarship Opportunities for Transfer Students
Texas Tech awards more than $500,000 annually in scholarships for transfer students. Scholarships based on academics, financial need, academic interest and other criteria are awarded based on completion of the Texas Tech General Scholarship Application due March 1 for fall transfer students or November 15 for spring transfer students unless otherwise noted.
Things to remember:
- Prospective applicants can fill out the Scholarship Application for Incoming Transfer Students at the same time they fill out the Application for Admission at www.applytexas.org.
- Out-of-State or non-U.S. students who are awarded a Texas Tech academic scholarship (or combination of scholarships) in the amount of $1,000 or more will also receive a waiver of the non-resident tuition fee.
- FAFSA is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
At Texas Tech, we continually are seeking ways to help our current and future students make the dream of a college education become reality.
