East Tennessee State University (ETSU) offers various scholarship options for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Merit scholarships, such as the Presidential Honors Scholarship, recognize academic excellence and typically require a minimum GPA or standardized test scores. Need-based aid, like the Tennessee Student Assistance Award, is determined by financial need through the FAFSA.
Program-specific scholarships cater to students in particular fields, such as nursing or engineering. Additionally, ETSU provides scholarships for transfer students, international students, and military veterans. External scholarships from organizations and private donors are also available. Students should check ETSU’s financial aid portal for deadlines and eligibility criteria.
