Yo there, I've been eyeing Texas Tech for a while since it's a big school and has the major I want, but I'm not sure if it's military-friendly. Does anyone know if they have facilities or scholarships for military students? Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Hey! Texas Tech University is indeed known to be a military-friendly institution. They have a dedicated Military and Veterans Programs (MVP) office that provides comprehensive support for active duty military, veterans, and their dependents. This includes assistance with admission, credit transfer, registration, and financial aid counseling.
Regarding financial aid, Texas Tech participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can help cover any tuition and fees that the Post-9/11 GI Bill doesn't completely cover. Texas Tech also provides several scholarships specific to military students, such as the TTU Military and Veterans Scholarship and the Colonel Gary F. Horn Scholarship.
Notably, Texas Tech has been recognized as a "Military Friendly School" by G.I. Jobs, mainly due to their initiatives like the Military and Veterans National Site and the Veterans at Texas Tech organization. These groups guide military students throughout their academic journey, offer networking opportunities, and work to make the campus an inclusive place for the military community.
So yes, Texas Tech has varied resources and financial benefits tailored to cater to military personnel and veterans pursuing higher education. However, everyone's situation is different, so I would encourage you to directly contact Texas Tech's Military and Veterans Programs for specifics related to your situation. Best of luck!
