Texas Tech University

From here, it's possible.^™

Texas Tech University is a place you can call home with more than 40,000 friends from every state in the United States and over 100 other countries around the world. You'll find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that represents the famous West Texas hospitality. 

The more than 250,000 residents of Lubbock love Texas Tech students—and we know you'll love Lubbock too. It's truly the perfect-sized college town, but what makes the University truly amazing is the residential college experience you'll get here. As part of the Red Raider family, you'll create memories to last a lifetime all while earning a degree at one of the nation's top 100 public universities that will prepare you for any future endeavor.

A great educational value

At Texas Tech, we invest in Red Raiders and value the many contributions you can make to our community both inside and outside the classroom. The University is ranked among "America's Best Value Colleges" by Forbes, which means you'll experience a higher return on investment through some of the best employment rates in the nation and lower-than-average student debt.

Additionally, as a non-resident student, if you're awarded at least $1,000 in competitive scholarships from Texas Tech University per academic year, you'll qualify for an out-of-state tuition waiver. The Competitive Scholarship Waiver allows you as a non-resident student to invest in your future at one of the most affordable prices in the country.

Become a Red Raider

Everyone is welcome: A dynamic mix of people, cultures, backgrounds, nationalities, ideas, and perspectives is the foundation of our commitment to equity and inclusion. Our students come from all walks of life—from first-generation college students to students from more than 100 countries around the globe. We create opportunities for you to find your community here.

Outside the classroom: Whether you're floating the lazy river or joining one of our 550+ student organizations, there are plenty of ways to make friends and get involved. After a day in the sun, you'll be ready to hit one of our many food courts or mini markets. But living on campus has many benefits besides just great food and a comfy bed. The opportunities and adventures are endless when you live life as a Red Raider.
