The Red Raider Guarantee

All Texas children deserve access to higher education.

In an effort to increase access to higher education, Texas Tech has implemented a plan to guarantee free tuition and mandatory fees up to 15 credit hours per semester to new entering freshmen who are Texas residents, enrolled full-time with family adjusted gross incomes that do not exceed $40,000.

Eligible students must apply, be accepted for admission and have a complete financial aid file before May 1, 2008 to receive the guaranteed funds. Any applications received after May 1, 2008 will be awarded based on available funding. Students may qualify for the program for up to eight (8) semesters of full-time enrollment. Under this program tuition and mandatory fees will be paid by a combination of federal, state, and institutional funds. Examples of funds include, but are not limited to, PELL Grant, SEOG, Texas Grant, Texas Public Education Grant, Texas Tech Grant, scholarships, etc...

The plan goes into effect for the fall 2008 semester.
