Scholarships, Awards and Financial Support

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Texas Tech University is fortunate to have a variety of undergraduate scholarship funds established in memory of past members of the department, in honor of current and past members of the department, and in honor of the donors. We encourage donations to the various funds. Please contact Dr. Monty Strauss, m.strauss@ttu.edu, for information on making donations.

The Department has a generous amount of financial aid available, in addition to the money that comes from general university sources. Most of our financial aid is offered to mathematics majors based on academic achievement, but some is based on financial need, and some is directed toward people preparing to be mathematics teachers. There is also an annual award for undergraduate research. Students are considered by the departmental scholarship committee for all scholarships for which they qualify.

Scholarships funded through the Department include those in memory or honor of:

The standard university scholarship applications for current students and scholarship applications for incoming students are used, but due to them being routed through a number of offices before they reach us, prospective and current students are encouraged to send a copy of the application to Dr. Monty Strauss, m.strauss@ttu.edu, (see mailing address and FAX number below), to ensure that we receive the application in a timely fashion. Scholarship deadlines are February 1 of each year.

Inquiries and applications should be addressed to:
