VOLUNTEER SCHOLARSHIP
We’ve made some adjustments to our scholarship tier structure. The in-state Volunteer Scholarship program recognizes students with an exemplary academic record based on a combination of GPA and test scores. It is available to incoming freshmen with a 3.8 UT Weighted Core GPA and a 28 ACT/1300 SAT superscore or higher–an adjustment made to support a greater amount of students on their path to Rocky Top. Visit onestop.utk.edu/scholarships/volunteer/ for more information.
TRI-STAR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
UT is committed to providing Tennesseans with a high-quality, affordable education.
