Tennessee State University, one of the nation's high-achieving HBCUs, welcomes our outstanding scholars to explore other options when choosing financial assistance. When being accepted into the University, and the student has all of the requirements to obtain a merit scholarship, the majority of the time, it does not cover the entire cost of tuition. In the Office of Institutional Merit Scholarship, we have compiled a list of external scholarships that can be useful. (will be updated periodically)
