<p>Hey guys, I really find these forums useful, however I have some questions that I can't seem to find the answers to. Neither of my parents have been to college, so this is all new to us. We're still trying to figure things out.</p>
<p>-Im a senior this year, and looking to apply to Texas Tech for the Fall of 2014 Semester. Any ideas when these applications will be released?
-Also, at what point do I apply for student aide? I don't think I'll be able to qualify for any grants, due to my dad selling off his assets, and it is based on income criteria, however I still need to try.
-If I do decide to take student loans, how and when do I need to apply for them?
-And what do I need to turn in with my application? I'm applying via applytexas.org, I have all 3 essays wrote, and meet automatic admission criteria. How many recommendation letters do I need? What else am I missing?</p>
<p>Sorry about all the questions, this all seems a bit overwhelming to me, and I really don't have anyone to turn to for advice. I appreciate it guys!</p>
