Scholarships

Students from all campuses, excluding Permian Basin, should use the scholarship application link under the “General Scholarship Application” tab to apply for the general scholarships available during April, July, and November. Remember, you can apply only once during a financial aid year, the year starting over when the April application opens. The same application will be used each semester thereafter until the next financial aid year.

Permian Basin students should access the scholarship application under the “Odessa General Scholarship Application”.

Campus specific scholarship application links will be used for scholarships available only to that particular campus. Not all campuses have campus specific scholarships.

The “Outside/External” tab is a good starting place for students who wish to explore scholarship opportunities offered by outside organizations.

Financial Aid

While helping us grow and achieve at TTUHSC is an outstanding opportunity, we know that it isn’t always easy to pay for a nursing degree. Financial Aid provides assistance to pay for education expenses (tuition, fees, books, supplies, and living expenses) while students learn and develop the future of health care.

Students are required to apply for financial aid every year. Short term loans are also available for tuition and fees. Please see http://www.ttuhsc.edu/financial-aid to learn more, or contact Lena Hooker at (806) 743-3025—or via email at lena.hooker@ttuhsc.edu—with any questions.
