Following the establishment of the Texas Reskilling Support Fund Grant Program by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Texas Tech is planning to offer tuition and fees assistance to students whose academic progress got impacted by COVID-19.
This grant will be given to qualifying students who were unable to attend school in the fall of 2020 due to COVID-19-related circumstances. Tech Vice Provost Melanie Hart said that eligible students must be able to graduate within 12 months and have not enrolled in any university or college during the Fall 2020 semester.
âThis will allow students to come back to school, even when they were affected by COVID-19 from a financial perspective,â Hart said. âThe grant will allow them to finish up their degree.â
