Transferring to MTSU from another institution
If a Tennessee Educational Lottery Scholarship (TELS) recipient transfers from an eligible postsecondary institution to MTSU, they must meet all eligibility requirements in order to receive the scholarship. All transfer students will be required to complete the steps below:
If you are transferring to MTSU in the middle of the academic year (for example, if you transfer in the spring after attending another school in the fall), please be aware that you will probably not be awarded until after the beginning of the semester depending on completion of eligibility processing. We are required by state policies to verify your initial and continuing eligibility; we will be unable to complete this process until all of the above steps are completed.
*If you were initially eligible for a TELS award upon completion of high school requirements and enrolled in a regionally accredited out-of-state postsecondary institution and are transferring to an eligible Tennessee postsecondary institution, you may be eligible to receive the TELS award. You will need to check with the Financial Aid Office to verify your eligibility.
