Terry Scholarship at Texas Tech University, USA

Terry Scholarship at Texas Tech University
The Texas Tech University yearly offers Terry Scholarship for U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States. The scholarship will cover cost of attendance at TTU, including tuition, fees, books, on-campus room and board and miscellaneous expenses.

Description
Howard and Nancy Terry are longtime residents of Houston, where Mr. Terry has been successful in a variety of businesses, ranging from banking to oil and gas. In 1986, the Terry family decided to help young people to help themselves by setting up an educational foundation. Mr. Terry had always been grateful for the financial assistance that enabled him to go to college, so they decided to dedicate their time and resources to giving future generations of young people in Texas this same opportunity.

The Terry Foundation provides four-year scholarships for Texas resident students attending Texas Tech University and several other Universities in the state of Texas. Terry Scholars are selected from a highly competitive applicant pool of incoming freshmen who demonstrate exceptional leadership, character, and scholastic ability. Family income and financial need are also considered.

Benefits:
Terry Scholar award amounts are determined annually based on the cost of attendance at TTU, including tuition, fees, books, on-campus room and board and miscellaneous expenses. The actual amount of the award will vary for each scholar depending on other scholarship awards and the ability of the scholar's family to contribute to the cost of college. The Terry Foundation Board of Directors will determine awards beyond the first year (renewal awards) for Terry Scholars meeting the required continuing scholarship criteria.
