Masters students may apply for scholarships and assistantships.  Students who receive a scholarship or an assistantship qualify for in-state tuition.

There is no automatic transfer of credit toward a masters degree, but, in general, work completed in residence at another accredited graduate school may, on the recommendation of the department concerned, be accepted for as much as 6 semester hours toward a masters degree. Exceptions to this rule are granted in the case of the Masters of Engineering degree and in certain other instances upon agreement between the college of the department concerned and the Graduate School. Work completed at another graduate school with a grade less than B will not be accepted. Transfer credit will not alter a student's grade-point average at Texas Tech.

For the masters degree, the minimum requirement for graduation is an average of 3.0 in the major subject and an overall average of 3.0 in all courses, exclusive of the thesis, comprising the official program for the degree. Individual departments or colleges may have higher standards.
