Expanded access for Tennesseans means we are also increasing our financial commitment. It is more affordable for in-state students to get a UT degree than ever before. Tennessee students are eligible for many institutional scholarships, including the Volunteer Scholarship, Distinguished Tennessean Scholarship, and the Tri-Star Scholarship Program, which includes UT Promise, Flagship, and Pledge scholarships. As the state's flagship institution, our goal is to reward hard-working students and help them stay close to their home sweet home.
As always, we are grateful for your continued support and partnership as we work together to ensure a bright future for students.
All the best, and GO VOLS!
