Texas Tech University<\/a> is expanding its participation in Texas Free College Application Week, giving more
\n prospective students the opportunity to apply for undergraduate and graduate programs
\n without paying an application fee.<\/p>\n

From Oct. 12-18, Texas residents can apply to eligible undergraduate programs at Texas
\n Tech for free through ApplyTexas<\/a> as part of the statewide initiative coordinated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating
\n Board.<\/p>\n

This year, Texas Tech is taking the initiative a step further by waiving application
\n fees for Texas residents applying to eligible graduate programs<\/a> during the same period. Current Texas Tech undergraduate students can also apply
\n to the Graduate School for free during the week, regardless of their state of residency.<\/p>\n

“Free Application Week is an important opportunity to remove a barrier for students
\n who are considering Texas Tech and encourage them to take that next step in their
\n educational journey,\u201d said Jamie Hansard<\/a>, vice president for Enrollment Management<\/a>. \u201cThis year, we are especially excited to expand our participation to include graduate
\n programs for the first time, opening the opportunity to even more Texans and current
\n students. By making it easier to apply, we can connect more students with the educational
\n opportunities available at Texas Tech while continuing to develop the talented graduates
\n Texas needs to support its growing workforce.”<\/p>\n

Texas Free College Application Week is designed to reduce financial barriers for prospective
\n students and encourage more Texans to pursue higher education. Texas Tech\u2019s expansion
\n of the initiative to graduate applicants extends that goal to students considering
\n advanced degrees and helps strengthen the pipeline of highly educated professionals
\n entering the Texas workforce.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech offers more than 150 undergraduate degree programs and more than 200 graduate
\n and professional programs, providing pathways for students at every stage of their
\n education and career.<\/p>\n

Prospective undergraduate students can learn more and apply through ApplyTexas<\/a>. Prospective graduate students can learn more about Texas Tech graduate programs
\n and application requirements on the Graduate Admissions<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech Online<\/a>\u2019s accelerated eight-week programs are not dependent on the promotion; applications
\n to those programs are free.<\/p>\n
