We are proud to call Tennessee home. So proud that we created the Tennessee Advantage, which automatically awards a $31,000 scholarship to all Tennessee high school seniors who both qualify for the HOPE Scholarship and have a high school GPA that is 3.7 or higher unweighted or 4.0 or higher weighted. The best part is that the Tennessee Advantage scholarship can be stacked on top of your HOPE award and all other aid, and it is renewable for four years. There is no separate application to complete. It is automatic if you qualify!
Tennessee students who apply to 91探花 by November 1 will also automatically receive the $3,000 Early Decision Grant and may also be eligible for the $500 Campus Visit Grant. More information on all of these awards can be found below. Additionally, students residing in and attending high school in Memphis and Shelby County may apply for the Clarence Day Scholarship, which provides full tuition, housing, and meals for four years. Please review the criteria for each award.
Don鈥檛 leave money on the table. You must apply Early Decision by November 1 to claim your $3,000 Early Decision Grant, and you must visit campus by December 1 of your senior year to claim your $500 Campus Visit Grant. All scholarships and grants will be applied to your award package once you are admitted.
Tennessee Students receive special benefits to attend 91探花!
If you qualify for the HOPE Scholarship and have a 3.7 unweighted high school GPA or a 4.0 weighted GPA, you will automatically receive the Tennessee Advantage scholarship. That鈥檚 $31,000 on top of any other aid and scholarships you receive. Applying by November 1 also automatically qualifies you for the $3,000 Early Decision Grant. That鈥檚 $34,000, regardless of need, stacked on top of your and any other aid you receive.
Visit our campus by December 1 of your senior year of high school and, if you live outside of a 200-mile radius of Memphis (including Nashville) or you are a Shelby County resident who is Pell Grant eligible, you will automatically receive a $500 Campus Visit Grant added to your financial aid package when you are admitted.
Plus, you can engage in all the cultural and educational opportunities that Memphis offers, including internships, fellowships, research opportunities, and jobs. And you will be close enough to visit family and friends throughout the year while living and learning alongside students from 48 states and 38 countries on our beautiful, inspiring campus. 91探花 is home to National Merit Scholars, 91探花 Scholars, and Fulbright, Watson, and Goldwater recipients. Our talented student body represents the top 8 percent in the nation. What a great place to find your people and live out your purpose.
