Tennessee Lottery Scholarship

Students graduating from qualified Tennessee high schools may receive lottery-funded awards if they achieve an ACT Score of 21, or a 3.0 unweighted grade point average. The scholarships are awarded to students who graduated in 2003 or later, who enroll in a timely manner and who attend a Tennessee institution of higher education. This scholarship is renewable for up to four (4) years or 120 credit hours, whichever comes first, if the student meets the yearly requirements set by the state of Tennessee. The FAFSA is required for this scholarship. See item #2 under How to Apply for Financial Aid for details. Home School graduates require minimum 21 ACT exclusive of the essay and optional subject area battery tests. Home school GPAs are not considered.
