Enrichment Scholarship Application

Enrichment Scholarships are awarded to applicants based on academic achievement. Currently enrolled students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, must be pursuing their first undergraduate degree, and must have a cumulative college GPA of at least 3.0 after the Fall 2007 semester. Currently, priority consideration is given to students who are not currently receiving a Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship. However, current lottery scholarship recipients are encouraged to apply, as scholarship criteria are reevaluated each year.

This scholarship is awarded for one academic year only; students must reapply each year to be considered. Award amounts and criteria vary, depending on available funding and the number of eligible students.

Students must submit the Enrichment Scholarship Application online via ScholarX by December 1, 2007, to be considered for a 2008-2009 scholarship. Paper scholarship applications are no longer accepted.
