Tennessee Promise
Tennessee Promise is both a scholarship and mentoring program focused on increasing the number of students who attend college in our state. It provides students a last-dollar scholarship, meaning the scholarship will cover the cost of tuition and mandatory fees not covered by the Pell grant, the HOPE scholarship, or the Tennessee Student Assistance Award. Students may use the scholarship at any of the state’s 13 community colleges, 24 colleges of applied technology, or other eligible institution offering an associate degree program.
The TN Promise Application opens on August 1 each year. The application is accessed through the TSAC Student Portal. To create a Student Portal account, you will be asked to provide the following:
Student’s First Name and Last Name (as it appears on the Social Security Card)
Student’s Social Security Number
Student’s Date of Birth
Student’s Personal Email Address (Not A School Email)
