East Tennessee State University (ETSU) offers various scholarship opportunities for students, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. The Academic Merit Scholarships are awarded based on GPA and standardized test scores, with amounts varying by eligibility tier. The Buc Promise covers tuition and fees for eligible Tennessee residents with family incomes under $50,000.
Departmental scholarships are available for specific majors, such as nursing, engineering, or arts. ETSU also participates in the Tennessee Hope Scholarship for state residents. Students should complete the FAFSA and ETSU’s scholarship application by priority deadlines for full consideration.
