The Tennessee Higher Education Commission is encouraging all high school seniors to apply for the Tennessee Promise scholarship before the November 3 deadline.
Tennessee Promise is a last-dollar scholarship, covering tuition and mandatory fees not already paid by the Pell Grant, HOPE Scholarship, or Tennessee Student Assistance Award.
“Tennessee Promise is more than a scholarship—it’s a pathway to opportunity,” said Dr. Steven Gentile, THEC Executive Director. “Tennessee Promise provides two-years of tuition-free and the opportunity to quickly pursue their career goals and prepare for a lifetime of success.”
Students may use the Tennessee Promise scholarship at any of Tennessee’s 13 community colleges, 23 Tennessee colleges of applied technology (TCATs), or other participating four-year public and private colleges offering an associate degree program.
Applying is simple. The Tennessee Promise application is accessed through the TSAC Student Portal. To create a Student Portal account, students will need to provide:
- First and Last Name (as it appears on the Social Security card)
- Social Security Number
- Date of Birth
- Personal Email Address (not a school email)
Take the first step toward your dream career and apply for Tennessee Promise today!
