Texas Tech's International Affairs office runs a small undergraduate scholarship for students born outside the United States. The cash figure is modest, up to US$1,000 for the academic year, paid towards tuition and fees first with any remainder handed to the student. The part worth reading twice is the second half of the award: it is expected to waive out-of-state tuition for the year, which at a public Texas university is worth far more than the headline amount.
Eligibility is written unusually widely. Texas Tech asks only that you are a full-time undergraduate born outside the United States, regardless of citizenship, residency or national origin, and that you can demonstrate financial need. Entering students and transfers are judged on their curriculum, test scores and class ranking. Students already on campus need a 3.0 GPA and 15 earned credit hours each semester.
You apply online through the International Affairs portal and arrange two letters of recommendation. The application is incomplete until both letters land, and the portal has known trouble delivering requests to Gmail addresses, so give your recommenders somewhere else to receive them. The deadline falls in late March for the following academic year.
One practical warning from Texas Tech itself: scholarships administered by International Affairs cannot be used as proof of financial support for your I-20. Plan your visa paperwork on money you already hold.
