UT Promise Application for High School Seniors

This application is for students who are current high school seniors and applying to become first-time freshmen at the University of Tennessee. UT Promise is a last-dollar, undergraduate scholarship that will guarantee free tuition and mandatory fees to qualifying Tennessee residents enrolling at a University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Martin, Memphis or Pulaski. To be eligible for UT Promise, you must have a family household income $75,000 or under and qualify for the TN HOPE scholarship.
