Name: University of Tennessee Volunteer Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies based on residency

Information And Eligibility:
The University of Tennessee Volunteer Scholarship is one of the institution’s primary merit-based awards, created to attract high-achieving students who demonstrate strong academic performance and a commitment to personal excellence. This scholarship is available to both first-year incoming students and currently enrolled students who meet the academic criteria outlined by the university. Award amounts vary depending on a student’s residency status, with separate award tiers designated for Tennessee residents, domestic non-residents, and, in some cases, students from neighboring states. These awards are designed to help reduce the financial burden of college while recognizing students who have excelled academically throughout their high school or collegiate studies.

The Volunteer Scholarship automatically considers admitted students based on their academic records submitted during the admission process.
