The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) constitutes the basic financial aid application and is required if you wish to be considered for all federal, state or university financial aid and scholarships. The FAFSA must be submitted once per school year.  Each new aid year at TTUHSC starts with the summer semester. 

Please note the following information when submitting your FAFSA:

Texas Tech University is a separate institution from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. If your plans include transferring from TTU to TTUHSC, you will need to complete the TTUHSC financial aid process.

The TTUHSC federal school code is 016024.

Students are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to enter tax information.

• The 2020-2021FAFSA is available to complete as of October 1, 2019.
  • The 2020-2021 FAFSA covers summer 2020, fall 2020 and spring 2021.
• The 2019-2020 FAFSA closed June 30, 2020.
  
  • The 2019-2020 FAFSA covers the summer 2019, fall 2019 and spring 2020 semesters.

Once you have submitted the FAFSA, your Student Aid Report (SAR) will indicate if additional supporting documents may be required for verification, and these documents will vary for each student.

Even if the student is not selected for verification, additional information may be requested to complete the student's file. All students applying for financial aid will be asked to complete the Expected Enrollment Questionnaire.

All requests for additional documents or information will be sent to the student's TTUHSC email account. To view and complete any additional documents or information, please follow these instructions.

Login to WebRaider and select the HSC MyTECH tab.

1. Scroll to the Manage My Finances section and select "Documentation Requested and Submitted".
2. Select "Student Requirements".
3. Select the appropriate aid year from the drop down menu and click "Submit".
4. Complete items listed in a "required" status.

**Please include the student's student ID (R#) at the top of all documents you submit to our office. The forms and data should all be legible and must be received by the specified deadline. If citizenship documentation is required, be sure to read the instructions provided through WebRaider. Failure to submit all required information and documents could result in a delay of financial funding.

Once the student has completed their financial aid file the student will receive an award notice via their TTUHSC email account. The notice will include a link to WebRaider, where the student can view and accept their financial aid offers.

Per the instructions in the financial aid offer notice, you may view and accept your offers by following these instructions:

1. Login to WebRaider and select the "HSC MYTech" tab.
2. Scroll to the "Manage My Finances" section and select "View/Accept Aid Package".
3. Select the appropriate aid year and click "Submit".
4. Select the "Accept Award Offer" tab.
5. Accept the aid you wish to receive and click "Submit Decision". (Grants are automatically accepted and there is no action required by the student.)
6. If you accept a student loan, please visit Federal Student Aid - Manage Loans to complete Entrance Counseling and a Master Promissory Note.

The Financial Aid Office will begin disbursing financial aid to students' tuition and fee accounts approximately 10 days prior to the start of classes each semester. Students must be enrolled at least half-time, have accepted their aid and completed all of the necessary requirements for disbursements to occur.

Students may accept any of their remaining loan eligibility by logging into the WebRaider portal and accessing their financial award offer.  If a student originally declined a loan offer and would now like to accept some of the funds, please email Financial.Aid@ttuhsc.edu  and request your loan offers be reopened.  Please be sure to include your name and R# in the email.  Students may accept funds up until the week before their semester ends.

Below are the financial aid disbursement dates for students whose financial aid files are complete and who have accepted their awards.  These are the dates financial aid will post to the students' tuition accounts.  Logon to WebRaider to check file status and to view & accept awards.
