Welcome

We are excited that you are considering TSTC West Texas as your choice to obtain a higher education. Our financial aid office staff is experienced, professional and ready to process your application for financial aid.

What is financial aid?

The purpose of financial aid is to provide assistance to our students by removing some of the financial barriers that may prevent successful completion of their educational goals. However, the primary responsibility of paying for a college education lies with the student and his or her family. Funds may be available through the Financial Aid Office to supplement those resources, but students should be prepared to pay some expenses from other sources.

Who needs to apply?

Any student applying for financial assistance at any TSTC West Texas location must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This includes students and parents who are only applying for the Parent (PLUS) Loan.
