See below for important information about lottery rule changes!*

- Transferring to MTSU and eligible for lottery? Find out how to transfer your scholarship!
- Are you a non-traditional student? You may be eligible for a lottery scholarship!

- Verification Opt-Out Form
- If you have been selected for verification but only wish to receive the Hope Scholarship (and Merit Supplement, if eligible), please submit this form to request your lottery scholarship. Please note that you will not be eligible for any other types of aid until you complete verification.
- TSAC Change of Institution Request Form
- If you plan to transfer from another school to MTSU, or if you listed another school first on your FAFSA but wish to attend MTSU instead, you will need to notify TSAC of the change. You may do so by submitting this form, by visiting College Pays TN's Student Portal, or by resubmitting your FAFSA with MTSU listed as the first-choice school. (We recommend the third option only if you also need to make other changes to the FAFSA.)
- Summer Lottery Information and Requirements
* Annual Updates to the TELS Rules: The state legislature typically makes changes to the TELS rules in June of each year. MTSU receives official notification of the new rules and procedures in late August or September of that year. This website may include basic information about the changes before that time, but detailed information about the new rules is generally not available until late October. If you wish to learn about any recent changes, please return to this website in October, or visit TSAC's website at http://www.tn.gov/collegepays/mon_college/lottery_scholars.htm for a summary of the changes.
