Tennessee State University has a broad based financial aid program. Therefore, an applicant may apply for and receive from one or more programs at the same time. Since the University cannot supply funds to cover the financial aid of all its students, students are urged to investigate and seek aid from outside the University. Fair and equal consideration is given to all applicants without regard to race, color, sex, handicap, or religious beliefs.
All students who wish to be considered for federal financial aid are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid . This application is available in the high school guidance counselor offices, the Student Financial Aid Office at the university, or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov . To be eligible for Title IV Programs a student must:
- Meet program eligibility requirements
- Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in a degree seeking program on at least a half time basis
- Comply with selective service and anti-drug requirements
- Not be in default on a loan or owe a repayment to a Federal Title IV Program
