TIER THREE
Beginning Fall 2024, the Office of Instituitional Merit Scholarships will offer the newly Tier Three Merit Scholarships for qualifying upperclassmen at Tennessee State University. To qualify, you will need to have the standard GPA by the end of summer session II going into the fall semester. More information on how to apply will be available soon.
Tennessee State University, one the the nation's high-achieving HBCUs, welcomes our outstanding scholars to explore other options when choosing financial assistance. When being accepted into the University, and the student has all of the requirements to obtain a merit scholarship, majority of the time, it does not cover the entire cost of tuition. In the Office of Instititional Merit Scholarship, we have comprised a list of external scholarships that can be useful. (will be updated periodically)
