Texas Tech University

(Lubbock, TX)

Texas Tech University is a major comprehensive research university that sits under the bright blue skies of west Texas.

Although it's a large school, with more than 28,000 students pursuing 150 degree programs in 11 colleges, Texas Tech prides itself in maintaining the feeling of a smaller liberal arts institution.

It also boasts a vibrant student life. Students cheer on the Red Raiders fighting for victory in the Big 12 conference. They participate in Greek life, community service, the spirit squad, and over 400 clubs and organizations.

They also get to enjoy the University's beautiful Spanish-style architecture and the buzzing college town of Lubbock, cultural and retail hub for West Texas and Eastern New Mexico.

And Texas Tech doesn't skimp on financial assistance: the university awards over $140 million to its students each year. Find scholarships from Texas Tech with Zinch today.
