• Tennessee Student Assistance Award:  

  The Tennessee Student Assistance Award Program was established by the Tennessee General Assembly in 1976. The purpose of the program is to provide non-repayable financial assistance to financially needy undergraduate students who are residents of Tennessee and are enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, at a public or an eligible non-public postsecondary educational institution in Tennessee. Student must be enrolled at least half-time. Based on funding, first priority is given to U.S. citizens. $ 2,322 maximum award amount is determined by the TSAC Board of Directors prior to the beginning of the fall term.  No student will receive an award greater than the amount of tuition and mandatory fees assessed by the institution attended.  The minimum  award is $75.  A student's eligibility is determined in the same manner as is eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant. Students should have their Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processed by the federal processor by the priority February 15 deadline for the upcoming fall term.

• Tennessee Dual Enrollment Grant: 
Is defined as a grant for study at an eligible postsecondary institution that is funded from net proceeds of the state lottery.

• Academic Competitiveness Grant and National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (Smart) Grant Programs:                         

         The Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005 (HERA) created two new grant programs for full-time students at degree-granting institutions who are eligible for Federal Pell Grants and are U.S. citizens.  Congress provided funding to make grants available for these programs for the 2007-08 award year.   The U.S. Department of Education will notify each federal student aid applicant who is potentially eligible for an ACG based on information the applicant provides on their 2007-08 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Applicants who are U. S. citizens in the first or second year of postsecondary education, and who have an expected family contribution (EFC) that would make them eligible for a Federal Pell Grant, will be notified of their potential eligibility.
