Texas Tech Alumni Association

Texas Tech Alumni Association supports students connected to Texas Tech University through a portfolio of scholarship programs that span multiple academic units, student communities, and degree levels. Its scholarship activity reaches undergraduates, graduate students, and doctoral students at Texas Tech University, with eligibility standards that commonly include U.S. residency or citizenship, minimum GPA thresholds, and demonstrated leadership or participation in campus organizations. The association’s work is closely tied to the university’s academic and student-life structure, directing support to named colleges, majors, and affiliated groups.

Its programs include the Raymond Argyle Carter Scholarship, which serves Texas Tech University College of Engineering students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in chemical, mechanical, or petroleum engineering and requires a minimum 3.00 GPA, U.S. citizenship, and evidence of good character and leadership. Other scholarships tied to the association include the TTAA Dr. Bill & Peggy Dean Raiders for Life Scholarship for students in the College of Media and Communication, including undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, with preference for Student Government Association participants, and the Texas Tech High Riders Founders Scholarship for High Rider members, including female undergraduate or graduate students with at least a 2.50 GPA.
