UT Promise is a last-dollar scholarship that covers tuition and mandatory fees for eligible Tennessee residents attending UT campuses in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Pulaski, Martin and Memphis.
Designed to make higher education more accessible, UT Promise ensures that after other financial aid—such as Pell Grants, HOPE Scholarships, or other institutional aid—is applied, qualifying students won’t have to pay out-of-pocket for any remaining tuition and mandatory fees. To be eligible, students must qualify for the HOPE Scholarship, have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less and total assets under $75,000. UT Promise also guarantees a minimum $500 award per semester for all qualifying students.
The HOPE Scholarship is established and funded from the net proceeds of the state lottery and awarded to entering freshmen who are enrolled at an eligible postsecondary institution within sixteen (16) months after graduating from an eligible high school in Tennessee.
Four-Year Institutions and two-year institutions with on-campus housing:
Up to $2,250 per full-time enrollment semester as a freshman and sophomore; then up to $2,850 per full-time enrollment semester as a junior and senior
Two-Year Institutions:
Up to $1,600 per full-time enrollment semester as a freshman and sophomore
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Only courses leading to a student’s eligible program of study (associate or baccalaureate degree program) can be awarded under the HOPE Scholarship program
Award amounts are available for summer enrollment
Determination of class status is made by the postsecondary institution
Eligibility
Apply by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at www.fafsa.gov. Early application is recommended.

Applicants must complete the Tennessee Promise application by November 3, complete the FAFSA by April 1, attend a mandatory meeting, and complete 16 hours of community service each year to be eligible for the award.
