2008 - 2009 Re-Entry Scholarship application is now available

PURPOSE: The scholarship(s) assists students who are reentering ETSU after having been the (1) primary caretakers for their households and who have (2) proven academic success at ETSU. It is intended to help students earn their first undergraduate degree and to help them to prepare for the job market. The scholarship is designed to help fill the gap between the amount of money the ETSU Office of Financial Aid has been able to award and the amount of actual need as determined by application to that office.

Shuttle Service from Gray to ETSU in the planning stages

Johnson City Transit (JCT) expresses thanks to all ETSU students who responded to a recent survey to determine the interest in the possible implementation a free shuttle service between a park-n-ride lot in Gray and the ETSU campus. Operational considerations (vehicle, staffing, and parking space needs) are being assessed, and funding for the service will be evaluated during JCT’s overall budget preparations for the next fiscal year.

JCT projects a possible start-up date for the shuttle service of fall semester, 2006, if the aforementioned factors are resolved. If implemented, the service would probably include two trips each morning from Gray to ETSU, and two return trips each afternoon from ETSU to Gray. The input provided by the students will allow JCT staff to schedule the times most convenient to meet the needs of the majority of students.
