Texas Tech University is waiving application fees October 12 through 18 for Texas residents during statewide Free College Application Week, and it is adding free graduate school applications on top.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board started the statewide initiative to help Texans pursue college without worrying much about the cost. Residents apply to undergraduate programs through ApplyTexas, and Texas Tech drops the fee for the week.
Tech goes a step further. Texas residents eligible for graduate programs can apply free too. Current Tech undergraduates can apply to the Graduate School at no cost during the same week, no matter where they live. Online applicants and Law School applicants also skip the fee.
That covers a lot of ground. Texas Tech offers more than 150 undergraduate degree programs and more than 200 graduate and professional programs, so a free application can open the door to a long list of options. People ready to start can head to ApplyTexas or the Texas Tech admissions webpage.
Everything on the list is free that week except one program, the School of Veterinary Medicine.
