Does anyone know details on Texas Tech's in-state tuition? Do they have any scholarships to lower the cost? Just trying to figure out my financing options. Thanks!
Sure! The estimated cost of attendance at Texas Tech for in-state students is around $28,525 per year (with the most recent year's data, 2023-2024 year), which includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and other estimated personal expenses.
In terms of scholarships, Texas Tech offers a variety of merit-based scholarships that can help offset some of these costs. Their "Presidential Scholarships" range from $3,000 - $9,000 per year based on academic achievement. They also have a program called "Competitive Scholarships" which, if you receive one totaling at least $1,000 from a Texas Tech department directly, you may qualify for in-state tuition.
A unique scholarship to Texas Tech is the "Red Raider Guarantee", which covers 100% of tuition and fees for students whose families make $65,000 or less annually. There are certain requirements, such as being a Texas resident, and maintaining a certain GPA, among other things.
Lastly, be sure to submit your FAFSA as early as possible during your senior year to determine any state or federal grants or loans you might qualify for. This can also be a primary way to finance your education.
Remember that scholarships are competitive, so don't rely on them as your only financing option. Plan carefully to cover tuition and be mindful of deadlines to increase your chances of getting financial aid. Good luck with your planning!
