  • Full scholarship support at ETSU is defined as those scholarships, or combinations of scholarships which provide the current cost of education including: tuition and standard fees, a semi-private room in a residence hall and meal plan (i.e. the Resident Advantage Plan), and $1000 per semester for books and other incidental fees. Full scholarship support does not necessarily cover all expenses incurred by a student attending ETSU. ETSU reserves the right to limit internally funded scholarships to an amount that does not exceed these direct costs. Scholarships or loans received from sources other than ETSU or the State of Tennessee shall not be limited, nor included, in the assessment of funds granted for full scholarship support. This policy is available in the ETSU Scholarship Office.
