The course is equally beneficial to those in the textile and spinning industries, shippers, merchants, financial institutions or cotton production – either overseas or in the U.S.. Course fee is $2,850.00 plus accommodation costs at the school hotel. This year accommodations will be at the Ashmore Suites, Lubbock. A very reasonable rate has been negotiated for students. The Texas International Cotton School is sponsored and managed by the Lubbock Cotton Exchange in partnership with the Fiber & Biopolymer Research Institute (FBRI) of Texas Tech University.
