Veterans Typically Attend Texas Tech University for no More Than $5,132

If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Texas Tech University should not be more than $5,132.

Veteran Sticker Price	$27,156
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits	$22,024
Total Out Of Pocket	$5,132

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Texas and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Texas and it has been less than three years since your discharge Texas Tech University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$11,600
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$11,600
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Texas Tech University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $289, Texas Tech University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$289 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$698 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Texas Tech University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Texas Tech University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $4,932. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses	$14,356
Post-9/11 Benefit	$9,424
Total Out Of Pocket	$4,932

A MHA of $1,178 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Texas Tech University estimates your expenses to be ($1,200).

Supplies Expenses	$1,200
Post-9/11 Benefit	$1,000
Total Out Of Pocket	$200
