Tennessee Teaching Scholars Program

The Tennessee Teaching Scholars Program was established by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1995 to encourage exemplary students to enter the teaching force. Participation in this forgivable loan program is limited to college juniors, seniors, and post baccalaureate candidates admitted to a teacher education program in Tennessee. Recipients incur an obligation to teach one year in a Tennessee public school for each year the award is received, or to repay the loan with substantial interest.

Applications must be submitted by April 15. Please contact TSAC at 1-800-342-1663, or at www.tn.gov/collegepays.
