Eligible students who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have a complete financial aid file BEFORE March 15 are guaranteed to receive funds based on available state and federal allocations. Any applications received after March 15 will be awarded based on available funding. Students may qualify for the program for up to eight (8) semesters of full-time enrollment. Under this program, tuition and mandatory fees will be paid by a combination of federal, state, and institutional funds. TTU Institutional Research rev 5-29-20
