Tech Promise

The Tennessee Tech Promise is a scholarship that ensures more students have access to a Tech education. Now, one of the top universities in Tennessee that is recognized as having the best Return on Investment is within your reach.

As a last-dollar scholarship, Tech Promise will pay outstanding mandatory tuition and fees that are not met by other scholarships and grants. It will not cover specialized academic fees, miscellaneous fees or housing and meal plan charges. Qualified students are eligible up to four years.

Be Bold. Be Fearless. Be Confident. You are meant to be at Tennessee Tech University.

To qualify, students must have:

  • Have a total adjusted gross income of $40,000 or less as determined by the FAFSA 
  • Receive the Tennessee Educational Lottery HOPE Scholarship and federal Pell Grant
  • Be a full-time new freshmen or transfer starting in Fall 2020 and beyond
  • Do nothing more. We will take it from here. We want you at Tech!

According to data from Payscale.com, Tech graduates have the highest average starting salary of any public university in Tennessee, and second highest of any university in the state. They also have the lowest average debt of any university in the state, according to data from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard
