Tennessee Scholarships
Living or studying in Tennessee qualifies you for scholarships that most students never see: statewide awards restricted to TN residents, where the applicant pool is a fraction of any national contest. These verified awards sit on top of the national scholarships and Tennessee's own state aid programs, so treat them as one layer of a larger funding plan.

Common questions
How many Tennessee scholarships are there?
Award Scholar currently lists 1 verified scholarships for Tennessee students, with amounts and deadlines checked against each sponsor's official page.
What Tennessee financial aid exists beyond scholarships?
Tennessee runs its own aid programs, including Tennessee HOPE Scholarship and Tennessee Promise, administered by Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation. File the FAFSA (Tennessee Promise: April 1, 2026. State grant renewals: April 1, 2026. HOPE lottery scholarship: September 1, 2026 for fall.) to unlock them, then stack private scholarships on top. See the full Tennessee financial aid guide for deadlines and eligibility.
Can Tennessee students also win national scholarships?
Yes. Statewide awards restrict the applicant pool to Tennessee residents, which improves your odds, but they are one layer. Most winning students combine state-restricted awards, national scholarships that match their profile, and state aid.
When is the next deadline?
The next verified deadline in this group is February 5, 2027. Deadlines are spread across the whole year, so a miss is never fatal — new windows open every month.
